I always wanted a .257 But having a standard action when I had my .25 built, I choked and chose the 25-06. I had the room under the hood. why go with a lesser motor?
Pure guess here, but I'd bet I own more .308s than the OP. Still... My do-all rifle is and has been the 25-06 since it was built. Leave me it, and my H&R/Sako .222 and I'm happy to the end of my days. Can't imagine much I wouldn't do with a 25-06 and the 100 ballistic tip...
