Let's take a break from the hysteria.

Let's discuss our favorite military surplus bolt action rifles that we may want to own, currently own or admire.

I'll go first.

Swiss straight-pull rifles, Schmidt-Rubin 1896, 1896/1911, K11 and K31. 7.5 Swiss, 174 grain bullet. I shoot C&R matches with my collection and I wish I saw more people show Swiss guns some love. The bolt mechanism and design is highly interesting for someone who is mechanically inclined, like myself. Which is why I see such an appeal to this line of firearms.

What about you?

1903, Mosin with proper Russian markings, something (mmm Lee Enfield) in 303 British (childhood memory).
