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

Both are excellent rifles. Personally I love the Swede cartridge, it’s amazingly easy to shoot accurately. 30.06 is better for larger game like bears and moose, but the Swede has taken all of those animals too (with good shot placement)
