Re: 25-06 24" or 26" barrel
For hunting on foot, I would go 24". For bench or stand, go 26".
The difference in vel between the two lengths can easily reverse depending on the barrels themselves. There are slow 26" and fast 24".
The game will never know the difference of 50 to 75fps. However, getting through and around trees, that longer barrel is going to get very boring.
Of the two rifles, I would look seriously at the Tikka T3. If similar to other Tikka/Sako products I have seen and/or shot, accuracy and quality is close to custom levels. Those T3 are very well priced. Would love to get my hands on one to test.
