If it had to be a gun that I own today it would be the nicer of my two Mosins, a 1952 Polish model that was refurbed in Hungary with a new bolt group and tighter fitting stock.

If I was buying a gun for this purpose I would want a Cooper-spec Scout Rifle, ideally a Steyr Scout in 7.62x51 with a fixed 4X scope in the forward position, synthetic stock and 18" barrel.
