well im guessing that ill end up getting a browning a-bolt in 308 win, or if i run across a tikka T3 hunter in 338 fed first and have the money in my wallet then it might have to come home with me insted. the 308 will probly do anything that the 25-06 might be considerd "light" for and then some, like elk and bear, and the 25-06 will do anything that the 308win might not have the flatnes and reach for. so with those two rifles i think i should be sitten preaty good for what im lookin to do,.........dont ya'll?
