[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 529912, member: 13833"] AGREE! I grew up in the upper peninsula and bought the first factory 25-06 built in 1970. All the old timers up there, at that time, with their 30-30's, laughed at me and referred to it as a "needle blower" that wouldn't kill anything. When I started dropping deer where they stood at 400 and 500 yards consistently they gradually changed their minds. My dad was one of them. How times (and equipment) have changed:D...Rich p.s. That rifle eventually became a 6.5-06 A.I. and after shooting the barrel out of it, is now a 6.5 Sherman. Best of the bunch IMO. [/QUOTE]
