I only read the first page, so forgive me if this is already been covered. The obvious answer is: 257 Roberts
ETA: I see you bought a 25-06. You'll love the Quarter bore. That was my first rifle, and
it would really shine at long distance. After that I went to a 7 mag because I started hunting elk. Bad knees keeps me out of the mountains plus I live east of the Mississippi River, so no need for the 7 mag. I now shoot a HusqaVarna in the 257 Roberts.
