Jake, if you want a 78 you will have to find one at a gun show as i don't think they've been made for quite some time. There's been lots of great suggestions and while everyone has their favorite gun/action and calibre, the problem here, as I see it, is defining "classic".

BTW, my son shot his first big game critter (an elk) with my browning 78 in .270 gibbs when he was 14. He had no trouble with the weight or recoil.

Tact is for those not clever enough to be sarcastic
