    What is far more important than calibre would be fit. Does your 25/06 fit? Is it doing anything wrong? If not, then really consider why you want to change. I will never be the one to say you shouldn't buy what you want and if you want another calibre that is your call completely, but I also work on "If it aint busted, dont fix it". And the 25/06 is a very capable calibre. What distance are you trying to shoot at? 200m? 300m? If you compare ballistics between the 270, 30/06, 308, 7mm08 and the 25/06 there is not alot between them that cannot be accounted for by good shot placement. All will take animals out to 200m relatively easily, and 300m or 400m if the rifle is accurate. (if its not accurate then a cannon would not be enough....)

    My suggestion is look at wha you want and consider things like
    Is ammo availability important? -Will you be reloading or buying your ammo?
    Is price important?
    and most important- What do YOU want out of it...?
