Well, since you already have the 25-06AI, you don't really "need" either:-)). That being said, if you go with the 25-08AI, it would just be a slightly down sized version of what you already have.
My vote is for the 260AI. My first Savage build was a 260Rem because I liked the performance of the .264(6.5mm) pills, and I have not been disappointed. I just think you'er new build should be something a little different.
A while back, I took a hard look at the fact that my shooting is limited to 300yds, so my most recent build was a 6.5Grendel. I like the idea of the "Improved PPC case", coupeled with the known performance of the 6.5mm bullet, and with the little I have been able to shoot it so far, it seems to suit my needs out to 300yds nicely.
No matter what you decide to go with, you won't be wrong. Like most of us it won't be long, you'll decide you want something else, and you"ll pick up another barrel, dies, cases, maybe primers, probably powder, etc., and the fun continues :-))
Can't wait to hear your decision :-))..........Jim
