[QUOTE="Buano, post: 2561772, member: 21641"] I've the choice of MANY cartridges when I reach for a rifle, yet when hunting deer I reach for the .25-06 most often. It shoots any factory ammunition well (and that ammunition is available), is easy to reload for, shoots flat enough I can ignore bullet drop in all but the longest shots, and doesn't destroy half a deer if I get a close shot. I've lusted after a .257 Weatherby but can't justify it. Some of the modern short action .25s are supposed to match the performance of the .25-06, but ammunition and components are hard to come by. The .25-06 would be my first choice. My second choice would be the .257 Roberts. This is what I would put in a Tikka medium action. It's 80% of the .25-06 and has proven it won't die and become an obsolete cartridge any time soon. [/QUOTE]
