[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1390210, member: 10178"] The OP stated that he wanted to make a LIGHT WEIGHT hunting rifle. Bottom line. 25-06 needs a long action and at least 26" of barrel to do it's thing. 6.5 CM works in short action and 22/24" barrel are the norm. Weight wise 6.5 CM wins. I have killed at least a couple hundred deer with a 25-06 doing crop damage control and inside 450 yards it is really hard to beat, and yes most of the time with the proper bullet it is BANG FLOP. Having said that any 6.5 with the proper bullet will do the same thing and when it gets over 300 yards the 6.5 starts to out perform the 25-06 because of better ballistic bullets. [/QUOTE]
