[QUOTE="Aoudad shooter1975, post: 2653732, member: 102560"] 25-06 was the first rifle I had “of my own”. I won campion steer at the county show—my dad let me take 400 dollars of my winnings and buy a rifle. I went down to BB pawn in Abilene Texas and they had a Ruger 77V in a 25-06. The rifle was used had the barrel cut and Re-crowned to a little over 22 inches. Bailey (the owner) sold me a used Redfield tracker 3x9 for $65 dollars until I could get some proper glass and stay with in budget. I shot a lot of deer, coyotes, raccoons, and even my first exotic or two. I used mainly 85-90 grain bullets. Still have the rifle—although I didn’t realize how heavy it was—or I’m getting weaker. My two main rifles then were both tang safety Rugers— one in a 220 swift (bought it 2 years later) the other that 25-06… have used either one in about 15 years—since I went all left handed. Both deadly on whitetail. [/QUOTE]
