25-06 is one of if not my favorite rounds.That being said I most always go with my 7 mag win. model 70
just because I am more used to that particular rifle than any of my others.My Sako AV ( that I bought from a member here) 25-06 is a real beauty and a great shooter.My son was shooting it a couple of weeks ago and was doing 1 holers @ 100 yards so I just had to give it to him.BTW he is only 14.But he will let dad use it.
