[QUOTE="bullgator, post: 415710, member: 26299"] I'm new here, joined today. I really enjoyed reading all of the posts in this section about the 25-06. I did not realize that it was capable of the harvests that were posted. I very recently traded for a Browning FN action with 25-06 fluted blued 26" bull barrel with varmint stock and small bipod weighing in 11 3/4 lbs with Simmons Whitetail Classic scope 6.5-20x 50mm AO scope on redfield mounts and ammo, dies, IMR 4350 powder and have yet to take it to the range. Everything I have killed at any long range (220-240 yds) was with a 30-06 BAR or 742. The 25-06 owner said that this rifle has killed 5 crows and several hogs, but no deer and it was just too heavy to lug around. I could not find any identifying marks on the barrel to determine the maker. The flutes are sharp and the rifling is bright and shiny. I do not know what the bbl twist is yet? Is there an easy way to measure? I received reloads of 90 grain hp with 52 grains of IMR 4350. I do not know what the specs are on this load.
