I've never been a Wby fan, but ended up with a MkV in .257 Wby. It wasn't consistent so I put a 7RM Brux tube on it and dropped it in a McM Wby. Express (formally Sako Safari).
The MkV is a big, heavy action, but is slick and fast, seems well made. I replaced the factory trigger with a Timney and it's a serious shooter.
Still not a Wby fan. My only Wby. round is the .240 but in an HS rifle. It too is a shooter. I traded for that rifle, but if doing a build would go 6mm-06 instead of .240. Wby brass is expensive and forming .240 cases from .25-06 brass takes muscle, making 6mm-06 cases, much easier.
And, I would go with an 8 twist instead of 10 to use the 105 Scenar. My .240 can't handle that bullet.

I imagine. Especially since the .240 is belted and the .25-06 isn't.
