RE: Texas Hunting Rifle

If you are not opposed to a single shot, you can set a T/C Encore up with any barrel weight from standard to full bull. I would personally recommend something from the T/C Custom Shop or a custom barrel maker, but that is just me. Do you have any idea what you are intending to spend? I don't own a 25-06, but my hunting buddy shoots it in a Remington Sendero (which would fit your bill for a heavy barrel too) and kills hogs and deer with ease. You might want to look into a Remington Sendero as well as the Encore.
