Dog, I am biting at the bit to start reloading for the 25-06, going to probably try some Barnes Triple Shocks in it, and maybe an interbond, or such. The 700 I bought is a sweet looking rifle, with the engraving on it. Now I have to get a couple of scopes, probably put a VX II 3 by 9 on them, maybe a bushnell 3200 Elite on the 25-06, but I want a Leapold on his 700 for certain.
