[QUOTE="Plinker147, post: 1216898, member: 88320"] I've killed whitetail and mule deer, elk (cows), bear, Barbary sheep, and oryx with my 25-06. Furthest shot was 450 at a coues deer. All with 115 gr ballistic tips at 3000ish fps. Would I use it for larger game again, no because I have better options now. It was the only rifle I had thru my college years. It's a great deer/antelope cartridge out to 500-600 yards. Runs out of energy too much for my taste at 600. Great youth rifle too, my boy dropped his elk and deer with it last year one shot each dropped in their tracks. It will will a great choice for the use you stated. Only bad thing about it is it limited if you decided you wanted to hunt bigger critters or further distances. [/QUOTE]
