Which one now? I like the 1 B stainless laminated in 25-06,it has a 26" barrel,but the 1 V in 25-06 has regular type bases instead of the 1/4 rib,only it comes with a 24" barrel and doesn't come stainless laminated.I geuss I have to trade some thing.Seems like alot of troubles originate from the 1/4 rib mount.Any feed back to help would be great
