The longlived models that come to mind for 1914-1918 and 1939-45 combatants:
Mauser 98 and K98 Mannlicher M1895 Mosin Nagant Springfield Model 1917 Pattern 1914 Ross No.1, including Australian production No.4 - - edited technically introduced late 1930s but developed from the No.1 Carcano (several models) Beyond VE-Day, the list of still serving rifles would probably go down to: Mausers MNs No.1 and No.4 because many armies issued bolt actions to regular troops until the 1950s. Canada only retired the No.4s issued to the Rangers within the past few years. Your question is of course with almost limitless correct answers too.
