I had a really nice ZG-47 years ago. Beautiful action and I am still kicking myself for selling it.

I did see that and I do think it looks great but I think I'm still scarred by my brothers steyr mannlicher model L 243. Granted it's a bit different but that was the sharpest kicking rifle I've ever fired, I've genuinely shot 338s that were more comfortable.

2) has to be a wooden bolt repeater

3) has to come with open sights, more specifically I really want to eventually put a leaf sight on it. Not sure if that's something all rifles can have put on or whether they're different.

4) I don't have the money to go out and buy an m98 or Rigby and co. so it's got to be reasonable enough that my wife doesn't leave me.

I know ruger and Winchester do them but not a fan, read enough to steer me off voere, still undecided on roessler and that's about where I am at.

Any other suggestions for makes?

Cheers

Aware that this is an old thread, but I would agree with the suggestion that a Zastava would meet your criteria.

These are new production Mauser design commercial actions. That is they are not cut-away on the left receiver wall for charger loading.
the examples I've seen shoot very well indeed.
