Thread: 25-06 build vs .260 model 7

The 2506 is an under rated calibre but very capable of taking all NZ game animals out to sensible hunting ranges. The 25cal is something of a forgotten step child and simply not the range of bullets, especially high BC, pills available compared to 6.5 cal. The 6.5 cal will do everything the 25 cal and more, especially longer range capabilities. So if you’ve got the 260 in stainless, then assuming it’s an accurate rifle and set up, then you are set to go. Put your time and $ into reloading and load dev on the 260 and go use it.
As stated above if you want a 2506 then better to just buy a TIkka or older model Sako.
