[QUOTE="35 Whelen, post: 1790552, member: 105990"] I think I would do as stated above, and but a mount on that covers the holes and enjoy the rifle. You say it shoots grate so I'd leave it alone and enjoy it, and save an old classic the best you can. The 25-06 is a grate cartridge and will work on most North American game (varmint to big game). I know some people that have very successfully used it on elk, may not be the best chose for elk but with the right bullet and shot placement it works fine. I would then save some money up, do a lot of research and build a .280AI and a .338 RUM the way you want them. You will end up with three grate rifles that you will enjoy for years to come. Plus as your children get older you will already have a rifle they can shot, that way if money is tight when they are old enough to shot you will have a rifle for them and not have to worry about it. Just my opinion. All is good with fun with guns. :) [/QUOTE]
