good luck with the 25-06 when you get it... I have you surrounded in calibers, 243 and 280, plus a bunch more... this T/C thing is like a sickness... the interchangability of all the barrels, stocks etc just keeps my simple butt broke all the time... I'm waiting on a laminated wood stock from EABCO now... should be here early in the week... by the way they have the laminated sets on sale for $99.00 both the nutmeg and the salt and pepper... if you ever have any questions on the Encore, Contender or any of the H&R/NEF guns check this out...
