They're just referring to the fact that all rifles like something different. Nothing specific.
Prices on the manufacturers websites are MSRP's not what they're actually selling for.
I just stopped by one of our local shops and they had the savage 110's for $400. You just gotta find the right deal.
As for buying the .25-06, you're set on it, go for it. I can think of better options in MY OPINION. But, everyone has one of those. So if you want the .25-06, go for it.
