I am looking for a new deer gun and can't decide between the 260 and the 25-06. I already own a 300 weatherby mag. so I have a gun with a lot of power for the bigger game. I want something for long range but can still easily take a deer, groundhog, and antelope. I like the 25-06 because of the availability but the 260 can take heavier bullets. Whats are your opinions?
