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

6.5x55 is just such a good cartridge in guns that can handle decent loads (not something like an old krag)
