Oskar;
While freely admitting your choice of rifles are of a modern design the bolt action itself can be considered "Old School".
"The Swiss Vetterli rifles combined the American Winchester Model 1866's tubular magazine with a regular bolt featuring for the first time two opposed rear locking lugs. This novel type of bolt was a major improvement over the simpler Dreyse and Chassepot bolt actions. The Vetterli was also the first repeating bolt-action rifle to feature a self-cocking action and a small caliber bore".
The Vetterli dated back to the 1860's while the Dreyse & Chassepot were older still.
