My answer echos Del's, with one addition: the 257 Ackley Improved. This presumes that you are a handloader and that you like to experiment and develop loads in your rifles. If you do, and if you try the 257 AI, you'll find a rifle that will shoot as fast, flat and hard as a 25-06, but, because the 257 AI is a more efficient cartridge than the 25-06, with less recoil, less powder burn, and, ultimately, less cost. Plus the 257 AI is just a very cool cartridge.
