[QUOTE="CLICKBANGBANG, post: 451613, member: 28472"] I think you could learn to love ether of these two scopes on the 25-06. I have a SII 4-16x42 MD and love it. It started on a 7mm RM and is now on a AR-15 varmint gun. But if you want to spot hits at 200 yards the higher power scope will work better for you. Also if you already have a Sightron 4-16, I would get the larger to avoid a double. That way your scopes could be moved around to serve a different scope power needs. Having said all that, a six power sucks for close up hunting. I lost a deer (5x6 backtail) with that 4-16 on 4 power that trotted away. It went from 45-60 yards and I never found it in the scope fast enough to get a shot off. So if you need a scope for 100+ the 6-24 will work great. But it sounds like you have that figured out.
