[QUOTE="ReachOutNTouchSomething, post: 732654, member: 53466"] I have both a 25-06 and 308 both in Rem700s, the 308 is a new sps-v and the 25-06 is an older 70's model 700 that is incredibly accurate with 117gr sierras. The plan was to build the 25-06 but i couldnt justify messing with it because of how accurate it shoots. As for 400 yard shots the 25-06's velocity makes it simple, with a 200 yd zero (which is what i use) you can figure about 15-20" of drop depending on your bullet. Out of all the deer ive taken with the 25, from 30 yards out to 468 only one has taken a step. I got the 308 for a strictly long range build and left the 25-06 alone for a carry gun.... for now, in the future i think it will be wearing a 25" varmint contour fluted barrel and a new stock but we'll see how the 308 works out [/QUOTE]
