[QUOTE="Bbear, post: 1222689, member: 7898"] I have two 25-06's now. Both are still pretty accurate for hunting rifles. The 'new' one was picked up off of a used rack in a pawn shop in 1985 and re-stocked and had the trigger worked on. No idea of round count. Since then, I've put just over 2600 rounds through it. Most in 3 or 5 shot groups. A few strings of 10 to check velocity on loads but other than that, it's just been one of the rifles I take to the range when working a load for something else. The other one I have is a first-year production model ADL. All I've done to that one is re-stock it and put in a Canjar trigger set to 3 lbs. It was a Rem Rep's gun from 1969. He kept track of the rounds through it (just over 500 when he gave it to me). Since then I've put just over 3000 rounds through it. Accuracy on both is still sub-1MOA, in the 'new' one it's closer to .5 MOA. I'm seriously thinking of having the 'old' one re-barreled soon as accuracy seems to go in fits and spurts - couple of range visits it shoots .6-.75" then the next couple it shoots 1.5". I've never 'scoped' the bore but I'm guessing after 3500 + rounds, the throat is pretty well cooked. [/QUOTE]
