I've been looking at intersurplus and looking at either Husqvarna 1640 or the M98 but can't choose the caliber I want. They seem to be priced around the same $40 per box pre-tax

I have a .22lr and an SKS but would like to add another surplus rifle to shoot at 100 and maybe 200 yards

I had a 6.5x55 sporterized M96 with original sights, no scope options. I was banging steel at 500 meters using the marked increments. 30-06 is much easier to find unless your handloading 6.5x55 like I was.
