[QUOTE="trebark, post: 524597, member: 19172"] Sounds like a nice rifle. My only suggestion would be on caliber. 25-06 is nice, but compare the BCs of the .25 bullets vs. 6.5mm or 7mm bullets. A 6.5x284 shooting 140VLD at 3000fps is awesome. 7mm SAUM shooting 168VLD at 2900....awesome. Both are fast, flat and will kill deer at 1000yards and if you can see a groundhog, you can shoot it. Also, by chambering for a short-action cartridge in your long-action, you will be able to put a long throat in your chamber so you can use every bit of cartridge capacity AND still get your loaded rounds into the magazine.
