[QUOTE="Hookturnr, post: 620815, member: 22612"] I've got to go for the 25-06 as well. It is my "go to" gun for everything from mid range (500-600 yds) coyotes, deer, antelope to 250yd. blackbear. Mine has taken all of the above at the above ranges or less with no problems. I used to shoot the 120gr. corlokt and had great success, then switched to the hornady custom 117gr. sst with better accuracy, now it get handloads with the 117sst or 115 berger vld. I have around 1000 rds. through my fluted bull barrel with no signs of accuracy degradation yet. It's just a **** fine cartridge with lots of options for ammo. I don't use extravagant glass on it either! I have a Burris FFII with the BDC reticle that has been great. You just have to shoot it, shoot it, and shoot it some more to learn your drops and +1 on the rangefinder! Just be sure to get quality glass. Quality doesn't have to mean $1000 despite what some around these parts will say. [/QUOTE]
