The 25-06/280 is a nice mismatched pair. I did this but 280AI instead. Also have a couple of 6.5s that split the difference well. If one rifle then a 6.5-06 AI or the 6.5x284 but the Creedmoor and Swede would be a good choices too. If you really want speed jump to the 6.5 Nosler or x 300 Weatherby but not many of us need that much speed.

No bad choices in the mid range small bores from 6 Creed on up.
