There are some well reasoned responses that favor the 6.5, but it does not do anything the 25-06 can not do. Both are good choices for the same class of game. My choice between the two cartridges would be the 25-06 for it's extended range capability and more common ammunition if you do not reload.
I like Sako rifles and I like Ruger rifles. You will get more cash by selling the Sako than you would by selling the Ruger. Obviously there are some respondents to this thread that think so highly of the Sako that you should be able to sell it for top dollar. Some years ago I had a nice Sako .243. It was a good rifle (a bit heavy) but it really did not shoot any better than the common U.S. made bolt rifles did.
You get to make a fun decision as neither choice is the wrong one.
