Congrats on the purchase,I think you will be pleasantly suprised with the 25-06,I have owned or own 4 and they have always done what I have asked of them and more.

The 3 ruger I have owned all liked bullets weights in 115-117 gr and I like that weight also for bigger mulies and maybe a elk.
I was not impressed with 115 gr Silvert Tips from winchester,but I realy like the 115 noslers from federal.

Also is that a special model you have?I'm in the market for a new 25-06 since I gave my brother my Ruger #1 for his boy to shoot.
Can I ask the price and from whom you bought it?
Thanks BBJ
