I was actually looking for a 25-06 when I got my 270 last year. My "gun guy" didn't have any in at the time so..... It came highly recommended from my cousin who is kinda a gun freak. Yeah, he has the $$ for the toys. [:@]

I still would like to have one though. BTW, BOTH of the deer I've shot this year w/ my 270 have went 40 yds MAX after impact. That's w/ a 130 grn Hornady. I'm sure the 25-06 will give VERY similar results.
