That's the best advice right there. Nothing wrong with a 25.06 at all. I know guys that have shot them for years and have never said a thing about hard to find ammo. They just talk about how accurate it is and how much they like it.
I would look at the Remington 700SPS or ADL. You can find one easy for under 500 bucks.
