1. Toss up between a 1903 springfield or a mauser 98 action- strong actions, very reliable, positive safeties, bolt handles never break off, good looking.
2. Remington 700 if I wanted a varmint or bench shooting rig.
Mausers are great, but I don't think they make them any more right
CZ has been making them for about 90 years, Zastava for nearly as long, Winchester and Rugers are modern interpretations of the mauser 98, though IMO not as good as the original.
