RE: thoughts on 25-06 for hunting deer
I'd have to agree with the last 2 post somewhat. If you have a 270, even though the 25-06 is an excellent deer cartridge, it would be a down grade from the 270. Not knowing your financial situation and what else besides deer you hunt the only thing I would suggest is that if you hunt ghogs, yotes etc then you may want to get a .223, 22-250 or 243. If you ever plan on going for bigger game than the 30-06, 300WSM or even the 338WM would get the nod. Again, being that you have a 270, the 25-06 would IMO be a waste of $.
