[QUOTE="56Wrecker, post: 891536, member: 67252"] My MAIN hunting rifle for many years was a 25-06 Ruger Model 77 Bolt Action with the 26 inch, heavy "Varmint" barrel. VERY ACCURATE ! However....were it ME...planning a "short-barrel" hunting rifle.... I would select the 7 X 57 Mauser. You'll get MORE "knock-down power" and a larger variety of available bullets...and about the same slight recoil. I don't think a short-barrelled 25-06 makes ANY sense....It defeats the use of the 30-06 case. Might as well be shooting a 250 Savage. WHY burn the extra powder for no increase in performance ?
