[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 707616, member: 4809"] I had a Ruger 77 heavy barrel in 25-06 for many years. It was deadly accurate and one that should have remained in the collection. Absolutely deadly on deer with either the 100 gr. or 120 gr. loads. Took a couple of cow elk with it as well. For a youngster, I would limit the 25-06 to deer only. The quarterbore can take elk down, but because it is marginal for elk from a ballistic standpoint, I would reserve that for the arms of an experienced rifleman (IMO). A better youth cartridge for both deer and elk would be the 7mm-08. [/QUOTE]
