[QUOTE="Dean2506, post: 473332, member: 31181"] The 25-06 is one of my all time favorite midrange guns. If you handload it can really shine. There are a limited number of good factory loads available. I used mostly 100 gr. for deer and 75 gr for varmints. 1 in 10 twist will stabilize up to 120 grain bullets. If you dont handload i would look at the .243 win. It has a much larger selection of factory loads and is capable of taking deer size game out to around 400 yds with proper loads. The recoil of the 243 will also be more manageable and can be had in a short action as well. If you plan on shooting the heavier vld type bullets in the 243 you will prob want a 1 in 8 twist.
