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 have a 6.5 Swede have had it for 30 years. Where I am the ammo is getting pretty easy to find compared to what it was. My wife got a tikka is 6.5 Swede also and uses it for hunting as well. Great low recoil shooter.
