25-06
I understand that, it's not a replacement but an addition to the collection. Any one of the rifles I already own would do the trick but I don't any of the mentioned and am looking for something to add.If you have. 30-06 those others won't do anything it can't.
I shoot a tikka 270 WSM as well. That sob can kick you into tomorrow. But I absolutely love the gun and the rounds my cousin worked up for meI have a 270 and 270WSM. The WSM is an ass kicker. Love shooting 270WSM Tika T3 stainless. Downside is availability/price of the ammo but that's up to you if you are willing to spend a bit more on ammo
It's not as fun and sexy as a .25-06, 7mm-08, .270, etc......but the good old .308 is all the gun I need. 130gr TTSX @ 3200fps will kill me all the whitetail, antelope, and muley (someday) that I want. If I ever step up to elk or moose I have an option of a 200gr TTSX @ 2550fps that'll kill a elk/moose with no issues at all, with a well placed shot, out to 400 yards or more. Easy to reload, you can find cheap bulk ammo to practice with.
Looks like you don't reload, so look at the cost of .308 ammo (and options) versus a .25-06, 7mm-08, 6.5 credmore, .284, etc. (I haven't purchased rifle ammo for 10+ years, so maybe the gap has closed).
