Rifle no 1 is a Swedish Mauser, model of 1896, caliber 6.5x55 Swedish.
The G33/50 is a trademark of the Interarmco company which imported them into the USA as military surplus and cut them down into cheap sporting rifles. Dollar value is low, maybe $100, but it is a serviceable hunting rifle at ranges where you can get good hits with the open sights.

Rifle no 2 is as marked a 1903A3 produced by Remington for the Army and Marines during WW II, secondary standard to the M1 Garand. Caliber is .30-06. The stock has been considerably remodeled with a well defined pistol grip and checkering that the army did not do. I cannot tell in the small picture but the rear sight does not look quite right, either. A fine hunting or target rifle but modifications always reduce collector interest and resale value. Let's say $500 until somebody comes along with a better idea.
