[QUOTE="Kiowa Cowboy, post: 3072266, member: 127211"] I am not opposed to big magnums or large calibers, just never needed one personally. I am middle aged but I am a big advocate of the least amount of recoil needed to comfortably get the job done. I live and hunt mainly in Western OK so the largest critter I shoot at is Elk. I have used a 25.06 all my life and love it because it is a light recoiling rifle. I love being able to see the impact on the critter through the scope. Most of the time with the 25.06 I can see right where the impact is on the critter. I also have a 30.06 which I use as well. Mainly, I am a little concerned that 25.06 may be on the decline with gun manufacturers and I like that 30.06 can be modest recoil or low recoil depending upon the load you shoot. I think you are going to love your 6.5 and never regret the switch. [/QUOTE]
