Reliability and ease of putting rounds in the magazine make my choice a Mauser. Next would be a Ruger 77. A Springfield would be third place unless it had 1903 bottom metal then it would be second.

You are going with a super old probably not as accurate. I'll go with new and very accurate: ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/yx1h2IJ.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/Wi8CWv5.jpg) 10 rounds in the box mag and super smooth bolt with flawless trigger.. Makes putting rounds where you want them easy as schidt.. I'd "fight" at a distance and you'd never hear me or see me...
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Can you put a bayonet on that rifle?

The best bolt gun to use in a fight would be the one you are the most familiar with.

Lee Enfield No4 Mk1. I have owned several of those, they were mostly kind of rough actions but I could see a good one being useful. And you can put a bayonet on it!

The Lee Enfield of course, but I don't have one now, so I'll go with the M-39 Finn. Anything that can't be loaded with a stripper clip or a handful like the Krags or a box mag can be hazardous to your health. Precision is wonderful...unless you are being flanked.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

1/2 MOA is twice as effective..... :sarcasm: If you don't have a 1 MOA bolt rifle , you are ineffective in war .

In the first two world wars rifles were not only for shooting but were made to be good clubs and spears. Some of them seemed way too long.
