[QUOTE="IHFarmer07, post: 1389378, member: 75397"] I never meant being "antique" was a bad thing. I own a 30-06 and I think its antique because it WAS made in 1906, the 25-06 is not far behind, kind of makes me feel I have a piece of history but both are great rounds. All I'm saying with being "antique" is that its been around for so long, its been modified, there has been many wild cat cartridges made off of them that are better options/improved options that are out there now than a 30-06 and 25-06, but the 06's has such a long/great history. It depends on what the OP wants to do as far as how far he wants to shoot, how much he wants to spend on ammo, if he wants a long action or a short action, ect. The 6.5 is better in some aspects than the 25-06, for longer distances but are very close to each other, the way the case is designed is better, higher bc bullets, rifling should last longer, its a very modern capable cartridge. The 25-06 ammo is available probably every where because it is "antique", cheaper and still widely used. If you want the latest and greatest, which that is what I'm looking into, it would be of the 6.5 or 7mm breed. [/QUOTE]
