I have seen some great responses here and I would agree with what everyone else says,25 calibers are great in that they pack a punch shooting a 117grain bullet and have a very mild recoil.Besides the 25-06,the 250-3000 savage the 243,I would like to suggest maybe the 257 Roberts,I know that Ruger still makes one and you may be able to find a old Remington 722 out there.Anyway whatever you decide on,good luck.

It's the operator that messes up....not the equipment.Have confidence in yourself and shoot straight.
