Are you target shooting or hunting? I'm a huge fan of the 25-06 but inexperienced shooters should stay away from it simply because of ammo cost. The 870 is a great all around gun, perfect in my opinion for everything from hunting to defensive shooting. The Marlin 22 would be the perfect sport shooting gun, plinking, small game, target practice, and ammo is cheap.
What are you needs? Choose the firearm that will best suit your needs for now, you can always get another rifle or shotgun later.

Hey, do I understand correctly that you already have these and are looking for your next gun, something different?
If so I'd recommend another rifle in a common caliber around .30 caliber, say a .308 or a .30-06. You can get much cheaper ammo than your 25-06 and it packs more punch.
If I'm not understanding....if you are asking to choose between these choices...then go with the Savage, especially if you live in prarie dog country!

Out of those listed, I would get the 870. It is for sure the better choice of the three for hunting

Purchase a 30-06 or 357 Magnum handgun.*

go with a front stuffer 45, 50, 54 what ever size caliber you want but definitely get a muzzle loader
you will have lots of fun with it and it will extend your deer season if you state has a separate muzzle loader season

I think you SHOULD have a .50 - or
a .54, or whatever caliber black powder rifle you want.
They're a ton of fun, and require a different skill level.
