25-06 performance ?

[longbeardbuster]

I was looking at a Remington 700 BDL in 25-06 and was wondering if anyone had any experience using them on for deer and how are they on
accuracy and does it have enough knock down power?

[Retaks]

Yes they have plenty of power. I was going to get one but i got into bear hunting so i needed something a little bigger. It would have worked fine on PA bears but i just wanted to know i had enough power if i came across a big bear so i got a 300 WSM.

I am looking into the same caliber and everything I read was good.

I've used 25-06 on deer and they usually drop instantly at the shot with a stiff load topped with nosler ballistic tips. This round is good to 400+ yards.

Great caliber. You will enjoy it. I dropped an antelope at 250yds.

A 25-06 Rem will cover you in just about any deer size and smaller shooting situation you can get into. With good bullets and a good shooter you can confidently take black bear and elk. It is also a devasting varmit cartridge out to 500 yards.

Does Remington offer the 700 BDL in 25-06? I didn't think so but whatever gun you select, in my experience, longer barrel is better. faster twist is better. good trigger is a must.

They sure do, just looked at a few on gunbroker.

A 25-06 makes a darn good long range western lope,deer,and yote rifle.

I have a BDL in 25-06 and have shot 10-12 deer with it with no troubles ever. It has plenty of power and is a flat shooter. You will be very pleased.

We have one in a Ruger #1 and you can cover three shoots with a quarter at 100 yards. It is a excellent long range gun.
