Your standard run-of-the-mill bolt action rifle in 30-06 from any one of dozens of makers will be lighter, more user-friendly, more reliable for hunting purposes and more accurate than a Garand is, all at half the cost or less.
Plus, putting a scope onto a modern rifle is cheap, easy and you won't have autists at every gun store and range cursing you for ruining the fun Grandpa used to fight th Japs all the way to Okinawa.
