I did not mention that I had a Winchester made 1918 Enfield that was commercially converted into a sporting rifle a long time ago. It now belongs to one of my sons. It shoots well, I have used it for hunting as well as my sons. It has a Lyman Peep sight and would not easily be identified as an old military rifle.

The 1908 Brazilian Mauser is on a par with the Argentine Mauser, except that it is in 7X57. Those old guns were finished as well as a custom sporting rifle nowdays. The 1896 Swedish Mausers were also very well done. The downside is the very long barrels on those old guns and the heavy stocks. They make wonderful sporting guns if you modify them. I can not bring myself to butcher mine, they will remain as they were made.
