I would like to pick up another WW1-WW2 vintage sniper that I can shoot and not rack my fused neck.
just making a dream list

Garand M1D, or M1C with the leather cheek pad, otherwise forget the early snipers, they were little more than regular infantry rifles that shot well and had a scope stuck on it.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Mauser snipers would be better I would think, but are quite pricey.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
