For a scoped rifle, I'd pick a boring Savage 110 in 30-06. The Ford Taurus of bolt rifles - nothing fancy but it just flat works.

For iron sights, I'd pick a M39 Finn. I've got a battered old Sako with kill notches in the stock (whether reindeer or Russians will never be known) and it has enough life left in it to get a few more notches if I took it out hunting.
