Mausers of course are top of the list. Springfields, or US Enfields also make great sporters. I have also seen some really nice looking British SMLE sporters. To me, spending a lot to make a Mosin Nagant into a really great looking sporter is like making a fancy sows ear out of a cheap purse! Not that they are bad for what they are. They are a great example of Russian arms manufacturing, and great rangeshooters. I have several variants, and enjoy them just as they were issued. I would never waste my money trying to make a sporter out of one.
As far as being banned, or ridiculed about building a sporter, resurrecting an old classic military arm that has had it's collector value ruined by a bad bubba job into a fine sporter is an honorable endeavor.
