[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1186919, member: 74902"] I shoot the 25-06 and the 6.5 Creedmoor. The Creedmoor is the better round for your needs. The Hornady's Creedmoor off the shelf ammo cannot be beat. The 140 Amax is an incredibly accurate long range off the shelf load. The 140 Amax against a 110-120 Gr. 25-06 bullet is no contest past 300 yards. The 140 bucks the wind much better and retains lots more energy. I am a Savage fan. Most of my rifles these days are Savages, since I got into long range shooting. They are great DIY rifles. You can change barrels yourself and there are lots of makers of very high quality aftermarket barrels for them. You can not do this stuff with a Howa or Vanguard. The Savage has the best (and safest) trigger of the rifles you are considering and has a 3 position safety to boot. [/QUOTE]
