Model 70's by far, but if you know what you're doing the Remington 700s aren't too tough to take apart. Just have to have a rock or something hard to hold the sear while you put pressure on it and twist it ....
Field-expedient method would be to use a bootlace to pull back the firing pin head.
Never tried that method, but now I know.... thanks...
Never underestimate your ability to overestimate your ability.
M70s for certain, but I have a custom FN that works the same way with its M70-type safety. Howas are also easy. 98s are easy, if they have the 3-position safety, but few sporters do. Still, the dime trick isn’t too hard to master, but you need something to press against.
Any rifle with a box trigger is going to be subject to trouble. The three 98s I have that can be hunted all have single-stage military types with lighter springs.
The 03 Springfield bolt is every bit as easy to dismount, perhaps a tad easier, as a M70 bolt. Speaking as someone who's messed with both of them for five decades.

Easiest I've ever found was a 6.5 Japanese Arisaka. A push with the palm of my hand and a slight twist and the bolt came apart. The Winchester M70s were a little more complicated in comparison. PJ

I've owned most of the rifles promoted above but in my experience the absolute easiest and best bolt disassembly is found on the Brno ZKK 600 series bolts. Push in a button on the side of the shroud, then lift the bolt handle and remove the bolt, then unscrew the firing pin/shroud assembly. Very slick and easy. The triggers on those ZKK rifles, if the single, non-set trigger is installed, is certainly as simple to inspect and clean as a Model 70. Too bad so few USA hunters have experience with this wonderful design. I really like them.
To further my vote for the Springfield I just now timed myself. From the moment I flipped the safety into the middle upright position and flipped down the magazine cutoff/bolt release switch to when I put it back together and re-inserted the bolt into the receiver and snapped the trigger on an empty chamber, 12 seconds transpired, which included pushing in the locking detent and unscrewing the striker from the bolt body and then screwing it back in. Bet I could get it down to 9-10 seconds if the Huns were on the verge of over running my trench.
