[QUOTE="Firecat, post: 405762, member: 22600"] The 25-06 has been a favorite of mine for several years. Sadly mine has not taken any big game as I have only drawn one rifle tag since I bought it 5 years ago. My wife and I drew so I let her hunt with it and I used another rifle. However I have taken several coyotes with it. One of those coyotes was the most impressive shots of my hunting career to date. We called him in and circumstances allowed him to get behind us. Knowing that the terrain opened up behind us with a large bald hill, my brother and I stood up and waited for him to be exposed on it. My brother missed about a 70 yard trotting shot. This wound him up to max speed. This coyote was packin the mail. I drew down on him. I kid you not when I tell you that I gave this dog a 2 foot lead. I mashed the trigger and recoil took me off of him. I looked at my brother and his eyes were the size of silver dollars. He was just preparing to pull the trigger for a second time when the my 06 barked and the dog disappeared out of his sight picture. We ranged this coyote from where I had been standing and drew a reading of 197 Yards. When we found him I had hit this coyote right in the ham. We couldn't believe that I had hit him that far back after leading him 2 feet. I am shooting Barnes 100 grn TSX at 3257 fps and they will shoot well under MOA at 100 yards. This gun has proven itself to me on several occasions but, none more dramatic than this coyote hunt. [/QUOTE]
