Madsen M47
From Warlike

The Madsen Lightweight Military Rifle is a Danish bolt-action rifle designed to be chambered for a wide range of contemporary military cartridges. The M47 was the last bolt-action rifle designed with the intention of being general issue to infantry troops. The M47 was first available for purchase in 1951, primarily marketed to countries which could not afford semi-automatic rifles for their militaries. However, with the unprecedented availability of low-cost surplus small arms and the rapid proliferation of self-loading rifles after World War II, global demand for such a rifle was very low and the M47 received very little commercial interest.
