[QUOTE="Guy M, post: 1353181, member: 8622"] Got my 25-06 Rem 700 CDL about 12 years ago. It's taken 9 mule deer, two antelope and a number of coyotes. Exactly what I had in mind for it when I bought it. Best accuracy came with the 115 Berger VLD and it killed very well, but I've settled on the 115 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip as my favorite. It combines rapid expansion, massive damage, and sufficient penetration for exits, at least on broadside shots. Mine is a general-purpose open-country deer rifle. I've got a 6x Leupold (36mm) with the LR dots in the reticle. It's worked out very well on shots from 20 yards to about 425 yards. Never tried any field shots beyond that. I'm still using the standard sporter-weight Remington 24" barrel. Very gentle recoil, yet excellent results on game. A lot of cartridges could fit that description, but I spent my money on the 25-06 quite a while ago and it's always performed well. Regards, Guy [/QUOTE]
