Just to add my 2 cents worth I have several guns my biggest a 30 06 in a Browning A bolt but one of favorite guns and also my 12 years old granddaughter' s is the 25 06 all in all it is a great rifle caaan buy right off the shelf for small game or large up to 120 gr I shoot 117 gr Federal Preminum' s and have taken everything from Turkeys to deer with it. Before you buy give this great firearm a try.
