Which long gun after a pre-64 Model 70 and a pre-Mil Savage 99

[jtcarm]

I might suggest a Griffin and Howe custom rifle built on a 1903 Springfield action with a side mounted Lyman Alaskan scope. Truly an American classic but, that is just my twisted opinion.

I'm down with that, provided money is no object.

Some others:
03A3 Springfield
I liked the Ruger #1 suggestion, but in another caliber, maybe 7mm Mauser.
A Remington Rolling Block or 1874 Sharps by Shiloh (again, $$$ unless you go with an Italian repro)
1886 Winchester

Here's some under-appreciated rifles, IMO.
Remington 725
One of the old 700 Classics
Smith and Wesson Mauser rifles built by Husqvarna. IIRC, they were Model A, B, etc.

Winchester Model 71, every time I look at one I feel faint.

How about a Winchester model 54 in 30-30? all calibers there were only about 50 or 55 thousand made. Frank
