yea i own a 7mm ultra mag right now and i am looking into downsizing to a 25-06 and just wanted to know anyone's in put on if it still a good deer gun and what you feel about it thanks for your time

Much better deer gun than any RUM...

We have a Ruger #1 and it will put shots on top of each other. It is a excellent caliber for deer sized animals.

I own the Blued Walnut one, I like it very much when Im feeding Federal Game Kings or Win Silvertips through it. I have had some problems getting a good handload for it, but thats not anything to do with the gun. Between my friends and I we own 3 of these M77 in 25-06 and it seems like all of them shoot the Win Silvertip commercial ammo the best. IMHO it is my favorite deer cartridge.

Quarter bores are excellent whitetail deer killers. Good luck.

The M77 is a fine hunting rifle.
Mauser Action is rock solid.
Scope mounting system is the best there is.
I don't like the trigger, but that is easily remedied.

The .25-06 isone of the best deercartridges available"."

I have one of the tang safety ones in 25-06 and love it.

I can't comment on the gun because everything i own is Remington but the 25.06 is my favorite caliber for deer. Mild recoil, flat shooting and hits the target hard. It's pure deer poison and absolutely kills em like lighting.

For deer,the 25-06 is a execelent choice...

25-06 is an excellent varmit to deer sized choice. Never been a fan of any ruger beside the 10-22, sorry can't help you much with that portion[&:]
