[QUOTE="budlight, post: 12820, member: 2939"] Your 25-06 could become your plinking gun. Rebarrel it to a 6mm-06. My friend has used the 6mm-06 for 15-20 years in a 26 inch bull barrel. He's a varminter! His 75 gr. hp's really do the job on small animals. I was with him years back when his wife got a nice antalope that came down to drink on the far side of a 20 acre pond. It had to be a 400 yard shot from across the pickup hood. I think he told me that his deer type rounds were 100 grain Speer BT's @3100 fps and it was a very accurate load also. Have you considered moving up to a 7mm? Very reliable at 500 yards. I have a 7mm STW wild cat. But the standard STW can exceed a 7mm remingtom mag by a couple of 100 FPS without pressure signs.
