I had a Ruger Mark II 25.06 and LOVED it!! It did a good job puttingdeer down.

The only potential problem is ammunition selection. If you live near a big sporting goods store, then you are all set. My Ruger 25.06 lovedthe Remington Core Locks and was a tack driver with them; however, when I tried some Hornady rounds it did not hold a tightgroup at all.

The only reason I got rid of it is it was a bull barrel and got a little heavy lugging it into the woods.

Now I have seller's remorse. Since I lost a ton of weight Ican lug around that extra weight and reallywish I had it back!!!
