[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1518027, member: 30902"] The problem the 25-06 has in the US and pretty well always had is that it's on the border between a good varmint caliber and a good medium game caliber. I shot it for a decade and loved it but there were just better choices available. Now that the 6.5's have gained so much market share in the US it's likely to end up soon being reserved to a small niche of die hards that just won't give up on it. It does what it was designed for well, mostly shooting coyotes and light bodied deer and antelope. There are just a whole plethora of rounds on the market today that do either or both jobs better and have much more appeal to the modern shooter. [/QUOTE]
