[QUOTE="Idgunner, post: 995720, member: 84194"] Greetings, I have a long history with a .222 and 30 years ago I had a 25-06 and loved it. After getting into bow hunting for 15 years or so I gave up hunting and recently decided to get back into predator hunting. Bought a Savage .223 last year and a Ruger M77 25-06 this year. I put a Burris C4 scope on both and love the combo. The .223 scope is calibrated for 55gr bullet drop (I realize it will be an average) and it is a blast to shoot out to 300 yards so far. I worked up a MOA bullet drop chart with an online ballistics calculator for the 25-06 and when I dial in the range off of the chart out to 400 so far it is spot on. Since I suck at estimating long ranges I bought a Leica 1000 rangefinder and plan to hunt coyotes with the .223 and Wolves with the 25-06. I will be looking for advice on whether, or how to accurize the M77. So far, I've enjoyed reading the threads here and look forward to participating. Idaho. [/QUOTE]
