Talk to me about .25-06

One of the best hunting rifles I ever owned was a Steyr Professional in .25-06. It had a plastic stock and a pencil barrel. I put a Zeiss scope on it because I was shooting some really long ranges in those days. Double set triggers made it a pleasure to shoot. It would stay in a half inch at 100 yards off a bench and it shot incredibly flat.

I cropped whitetail does for a couple of years with that gun and I won't tell you my farthest measured shot.

I thought it was a really good combination becasue it was accurate and a very reliable killer with mild recoil.

I sold that rifle to pay for living expenses in law school and I have never seen another one like it.
