Buy recommendations Surplus rifle in 30-06 or 6.5x55

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

If its just 1-200 why not a mosin? A bit more up front but your ammo will be way less expensive.

The mosin is a much worse design though. My friend’s mosin has to be beaten open after firing.
