i found a guy with a remington 700 ss bdl w/ det. mag in 25-06. i bought it back in nov. i was very impressed with the groups it shot . the gun had only been shot 22 times and was new. i like it and would recommend it to anyone. some of the new remingtons i would look at before buying though. but sometimes you can find good deals like i did.. i did find that 25-06's are hard to find. i have had several peaople try to buy this one allready . i wont sell. the ruger is good but i just put in my two cents worth.
