[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2588113, member: 101791"] Why change for a 25/06 to sometime that you are not use to. It's an easy 500yd rifle. 270 in a little bigger bullet and they are great rifles for deer and do the same thing. I would be surprise if you couldn't close the distant down to under 500yds any day of the week. Except across a canyon. I have found it the mule isn't push to hard they will stop and look back at you. Trying to lay down and shoot in brush country good luck. Learn to sit and shoot. You can lighten on gear. Range finder is good. I when for years without a range finder using either 2 x7 or 2x8 duplex and learn what a deer looks like the scope at the higher powers. I could instance determine the distance to the deer. I did it from a few yards to 500yds. Almost all one shot kills. Hit in the heart yes they can move out a 100yds or so. I learned to sit down and do most of my hunting with a pair of binoculars. It did the walking for me. [/QUOTE]
