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

30-06 will be easier to find.

Saying that, 6.5x55 is a fantastic cartridge. If you want to get into reloading, I would go for that one hands down.
