Don't hold out for nothing buy both. th 243 and 25-06 are great cartriges that perform well and are easy to shoot. Why screw yourself with the woulda,shoulda, and coulda crap. Buy that Tikka 243 and scope it, while you wait for the 25-06 to show up. Then you can just swap the scope back and forth. Phock, can't believe this chit 5 pages of posts arguing over which shade of white to paint the wall no one sees. Magnum man
