I would eliminate any of the rifles with the ladder type open sight in front of the receiver - those sights are not very good.
What came to mind, to me, first, was the Springfield 03A3, because of the peep sight. The 1917 and Lee Enfield models with peep sights would also be good candidates. So would the M1 Garand, anywhere but Penciltucky. For a compact woods rifle, the British jungle carbine might be a good pick.
