A interesting 308

Hi all
Just wandering about selling my target rifle Musgrave in 7.62x51 and buying something interesting.
I don't think its worth a great deal and would need a new barrel shortly, it's just not my cup of tea. Really not sure I want to invest heavily in newer target rifle and don't want to throw money at my Musgrave!
So the question is what is out there, be it old and good fun to shoot out to 600yds or more that isn't going to make me asking the bank manager for a loan!
I've got the G98, K98, Mosin PU, Tikka T3 which I all love, so something that will fit nicely into my small collection.
Answers please not on a postcard. Cheers all

K11 or K31.
Total accuracy out the box.
I shoot mine 600/900/1000 and do pretty well with it.
Easy to reload. 155gn scenars. Lovely.
Mine is a 1919 K11 carbine that looks like its been runover and cost me £195 a few years back.
There were a couple of K31`s at Bisley in the £350 area.
