I've narrowed it down to four rifles: a K98, M1 Garand, Finnish M39, or Mosin PU sniper.
Lol I can't decide what I want. Maybe some of you with more knowledge and experience with these rifles can help out here.
But here's some key points:

- Ammo does not matter. i reload and I could care less about ammo price.
- I have a Swedish M38, used to have an M48, and have a general love for Mausers
- Used to have a Russian mosin, but didn't like the poor quality and accuracy. M39s seem pretty awesome.
- Most enjoyable experience to shoot
 
I have three of those four choices. I think the best long-term investment will be the Mosin PU sniper. Prices have already risen considerably on the other choices so you are going to pay a premium. All are nice to shoot but the M1 has the best iron sights going. Mauser best action. M39 is the one I don't own but I definitely lust for one if the accuracy is as good people say.
 
If you like to shoot a lot per session best bet is an M1.
Tolerable recoil, excellent sights and who doesn't like the unique enbloc ejection!
If you like to shoot a rifle for what it is then sounds like you prefer the 98.

I usually go through waves of interest where some days 5 rounds though a 98 is a good range session and another day I like 100 rounds though the m1.

Have to admit though, 100 rounds through the m1 hurts less.

This is totally up to you.

My choice would be the Mosin PU sniper. So long as it was all original surplus, no repro scope or mount. They are very accurate for milsurps.
