I have to agree with the suggestion of the Swedish M96. I have three I've restored and swear by them. The Swedes didn't use them in much combat, and most have stayed in pristine condition. The M94 is a better hunting rifle due to the shorter barrel. If you find one with the gold circle piece in the stock it tells you the condition of the bore. The rifles were frequently recalled to the armory, inspected and graded. No wonder they've lasted so long. Best wishes.
