Garand. Bottom line.
Dead-on accuracy, rugged as pure steel, field strips easy, reliable, one-shot knockdown.
If it wasn't for the size and weight of the 30.06 round, I bet the US Army would be using a modernized version. They even tried to, with the M14. But 7.62 doesn't work with an assault rifle. 10 or 12 round clips, semi-auto, with high personal marksmanship would work with a modern Garand. Not current military doctrine, unfortunately.
