Yeah, I was actually considering buying this to keep unfired as a collectors piece. Its kinda hard to pay $650 for something that will sit in the back of my safe and never be used. Judging by your replies I dont think its a super deal, however I dont see ANY listed on the net in the 25-06 chambering. Ill probably end up passing on it and then regretting it 5 years later like every other time Ive thought about buying a gun for collecting.
