[QUOTE="Korhil78, post: 640510, member: 34818"] I'm definitely not saying that the 25-06 can't take deer sized game out to 700 yds. I am sure that it can but the odds start turning against you from there on out. If you REALLY want to shoot them out that far, get yourself a 10 inch round plate and set it up. Get all set up for that distance and see how many 1st shot hits you can get on diff. Days. Go on calm days and then on windy days. 115 gr is a light bullet so wind is going to be your biggest challenge. If you are getting consistent 1st shot hits all the time on that 10" round plate then you should be good to go because a deer has about a 10" vital zone. The fartherest that I have shot a mule deer is 490 yds with the bergers and it was dead right there. I have shot a javelina at 550 yds and it died right there too. [/QUOTE]
