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

Neither. Get a 9.3x62

I got an husky 9.3x62 m96 with a 4x mystery scope off Intersurplus for less than $500 and it was dead on at a 100 yards. Just had to clean it up and replace the dried up recoil pad. 7 lbs. Lots of fun.
