Got one! Although my Krag is a cut-down rifle with a cocking piece peep sight -- a real neat arrangement.
If you could only have one milsurp bolt action

Nice real nice. I'm going to have another as soon as I can find one.

They're really nice with cast bullets, too -- I use a 200 grain round nose, gas-checked and powder coated over about 22 grains of 5744, for around 1700 fps. I gas check and size first, using a Lee sizer, then powder coat so my bullets mike out to around .310.

Jap Arisaka type 99, an early one, which were nicely finished. Stupid simple, rugged as a rhinoceros, accurate enough and the only one here with a chromed bore. Ditch the monopod and the aircraft sights. Keep the bolt shroud, they can be tweaked so they don't rattle.
Yeah, I know, I'm weird........

Same here. In fact, the only bolt action mil-surp I still own is my K31.

I once had and foolishly sold a neat surplus type rifle.
It was a mockup of a Springfield Armory Sporter.
Remington 1903 action, 4 groove A3 barrel, 1922 .22 stock, Lyman 48 sight.
It was a sincere copy, if you weren't close enough to read the markings, and shot as well as I could hold the peep sight.

If you're talking about the British Empire, and want the real deal, remember what Kipling said:
"But most of the Empire which now we possess
Was won through those years by old-fashioned Brown Bess."
