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 suggest the 30-06 since 6.5 swede is a pain to get even with a reloading device

Prophet river in Leominster Alberta has cheap ammo 50 rounds for $75 and 50 rounds lapua for $100-125. 6.5x55 is much more fun to shoot than 30-06 and way more accurate
