Got old rifle - want new caliber - suggestions

So I have this old Ruger 77 Ultralight (tang safety version) in 270. I'm thinking about rebarreling it and getting it all 'tuned' up, but I don't have a hunting caliber chosen yet. I have a 260 and a 270 already, so something new is in order. I'm thinking maybe 25-06 or 6.5-06, since it's a long action rifle. But, 257 Roberts has always interested me. I don't really want or need a 7mm, so that's not being considered, and I don't need a 30 caliber. I'm leaning just a bit toward the 25-06, but not for any big reason. The Ultralight has a rather short barrel, and I'd replace it with the same barrel length, so maybe the 257 is a better choice. Or, maybe just do it up in 260 and sell the other one I have. Help me clarify my thinking on this.
