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

I mean, he's ordering a rifle online.

At least a dozen online retailers you can get 6.5x55 from.

There is value in being able to swing by almost any gun store and grab a few boxes of ammo.
