My son shoots a Ruger MKII 25-06 and shot a 3pt bull elk at 400 yards two weeks ago.A handloaded 120 gr Hornady HP/54gr 4831SC took out a rib entering and one exiting.Never made it out of the field.Nice caliber.The IOR optics are top drawer all the way as you know only used by the Romanian military until recently privatized for public sale.{after they took their Dictator for a one way walk in the flower garden]...........Harold *should be a surgical rig no doubt!
