Default Which WW2 Surplus Rifle?

I'm debating purchasing a WW2 surplus rifle to target shoot. I'm only looking to spend a few hundred dollars because I'm also doing an AR build, so unfortunately an M1 Garand, Springfield 1903, or a nice German Mauser are out. The three rifles I was looking into are the Mosin Nagant M91, Arisaka type 99, and the Italian Carcano. At this point I am leaning towards the Mosin Nagant because there are plenty to choose from and there is actually ammo on the shelves in my area. Any advice on these rifles? What do I look for in a good surplus rifle?
