I would go with the Tikka, but with the option of only a 22 in barrel I would look into the 260. Better bullet selection, Little heavier bullet, little less powder, better barrel life. I think a 260 would be better choice for that set up.
If you do get 25-06 you still should be able to bet close to 3000 fps with a 115 gr bullet. I can get 3200 with a 24in barrel out of mine, but accuracy is best around 3000fps
I agree with this 100%. Go with a 6.5mm. They have 8" twist barrels so you can shoot a reasonable bullet for long range work. If it is going to always be a short range laser then .25 would be fine.
