RE: Which .25-06
Buy the one that fits you the best. All of the rifles you listed are quality firearms. Some appear more aesthetically looking than the others but this is a personal affair. I have a S&W 1500 w/22" barrel and overy my chronograph I only lose about 45 fps compared to my best friends 24" barreled Remington 700. 45 or even 65 fps isn't enough velocity loss to have any real world effect. Of the rifles you listed the only one I don't really care for is the Ruger. This is because of the heavy sporter contour barrel. I don't like the balance of this rifle in my hands. My cousin owns a stainless 77 in 25-06 that is an awesome shooter but I just don't like how it balances in my hands.
