depends what your objective is, if you're wanting to 'collect' and go for rare markings and such, then let the market dictate. if you just want to start shooting surp, then your only concern should be bore quality.

Common and robust guns like Enfields and Mausers are easy to find parts for. You can always look for a cheap bubba'd rifle (as long as it retains original barrel length) for $150-200 and then restore it with replacement furniture and barrel bands down the road when you have more money.
