[QUOTE="ol mike, post: 404890, member: 4683"] I have a 25-06 rem 700 bdl that i bought in '79 or '80 shoots like a champ -always has. Have a 22-250 rem 700 that shoots like your 25-06 -STOP fighting with it -wasteing time and supplies -order a custom barrel -have it blueprinted and bedded by a well known smith and be done. i fought my raunchy 22-250 for years -bedding -crown -lapped the lugs -different scopes -rings etc. all to no avail -STOP fighting with it ! Micky Coleman blueprinted it and screwed on a Douglas XX stainless barrel -shot spectacular immediately ! Load developement took a couple of hours -last time i checked the gun/load it shot a 3" group at 453yds in decent conditions . The 6.5x06 will really let you stretch the legs of the 06 case -140 amax and you'll have a 600-700yd deer rifle ready to rock. Get the old barrel back from the your gunsmith -cut it into 1-2 inch sections -use them when catfishing .. [/QUOTE]
