RE: 25-06 performance ?

In 1990 the Remington 700 Classicwaschambered in25-06 Rem.The 700 Classicwas and still is my favoritebolt action rifle. I read a lot of goodthings about the 25-06 and since it was available in my favorite rifle I bought one. Well kind of, I wasn't old enough to buy it. I had to havemy mom or dad (I can'tremember which one)buy it for me.

In 1997I tradedit for the 700 Classic that year, the 280 Rem. I wanted something a little heavier.At the time I couldn't afford the280 without selling the 25-06. I don't regret doing it. Ireally like the 280.I've shot one deer with it.[/align][/align]My 25-06did shoot really well. It would group under an inch at 100 yards with 120 gr. Remington Core Lokt ammo. That's whatI used forhunting deer with it. I never shot a deer withit.I shot 100 gr. Remington Core Lokts and 90 gr.Winchester Power Points (I think that's what they were called). They all shot very well. I don't think I ever shot any ammo in it that wouldn't shootan inch or better. It was definitely a shooter (as is my 280). I'd recommend bothcartridges. [/align]
