I have the older ruger MK ll in 25-06 I just bought it but its been in the store for several years. I am very happy with the accuracy so far. It just puts them right on the money every time. In a week I will get a chance to try it it for the last rifle doe season in SD. I have not used the 25-06 in many years although I have been shooting the 257 Roberts for deer with great success. I have loaded one box of 100 grain Corlokts, abox of 100 grai Ballistic tips and a box of 115 grain ballistic tips. I have a box of factorty 115 Winchester ballistic silvertips and a box of 100 grain Federal premiums with Barnes XLC 100 grain bullets. I wanted to load 100 grain Nosler partitions but I could not find any in time. I will report on it after the hunt.
