I find the Battletech figures quite suitable (not the 'mechs, the ground
types).

Of course the Grenadier Traveller figs are very good, but they are
out of production as far as I know.

Other suggestions could be shadowrun figures or any modern period figures
for that matter. The range of weapons of course won't be available, but
my chracters still run around with 7mm rifles.

The hard part is providing vehicles, horses just don't cut it. I have
gone to auctions looking for good vehicles and not found too much. The
old 15mm line of traveller figs produced a couple (air/raft, and a
wheeled vehicle), but there isn't too much for 25mm vehicles (There's
a lot of lead in a good scale vehicle - even the 15mm air/raft weighs
about a kilo).
