Does Remington offer the 700 BDL in 25-06? I didn't think so but whatever gun you select, in my experience, longer barrel is better. faster twist is better. good trigger is a must.

Good luck with the 25. You're gonna love it.

It will kill any elk ,black bear or moose that ever walked as well.My son took a 3pt bull elk at over 400 yards this fall with a .25-06 using my handloads 120gr HP Hornady/Win cases/Fed Mag primer and 54gr of H4831SC.Complete penetration taking out a rib entering and another exiting with the animal dropping within 100yards of being hit.A black bear one shot last spring and a lot of mulies and WT deer over the past 3 years.It behaves like a .270 with the above load and cloverleafs 3 shot groups..................hard to find fault............Harold

If I could ever make up my mind on what type round I want the 25-06 is going to be one of my next cartridges. Everything I've read on this caliber says in reference to deer size game or smaller if you can see it you can kill it. Of course the accuracy of the shooter and rifle will play a large part in this.

25/06 is my very favorite all around caliber. I have 4 700's--2 bdl's, a cdl that i haven't scoped yet, and a Mountain Rifle that i love dearly. I have probably kileed 70 or 80 whitetails with a 25. As everyone else here has mentioned, they are deadly accurate and performance is certainly terminal. One of the all time greats in my opinion.
