Im sure someone will be along shortly to suggest 6.5 Creedmoor. That is, after blow drying their hair and going to get a soy latte.

The 260 & 6.5 CM are ballistically the same. The CM comes in a variety of more rifles and ammo too. If using one for elk I’d prefer heavier bullets, which is where the CM shines over the 260. I really like my 260, but when I wanted a full size rifle I went with the Creedmoor.

I think the 260 pencils out better, but the 25-06 has sentimental value to me. I remember as a youth (many years ago) reading Bob Milek's stories in Outdoor Life. Milek hunted deer, antelope, and elk with a 25-06. His stories about hunting antelope in Wyoming are timeless. As I recall he even wrote about taking shots at ridiculous distances like 300+ yards with the 25-06. As an adult I always wanted a 25-06 and eventually bought one. It killed many antelope and will always keep a special place in my memories.I doubt you will be disappointed in whichever caliber you choose.
.260 over the 25-06 for me.Im sure someone will be along shortly to suggest 6.5 Creedmoor. That is, after blow drying their hair and going to get a soy latte.
