Bought a Rem 700 BDL 25-06 years ago (40 to be exact) for use as a varmint/deer rifle and it worked really well. A few years later I sold it to my brother who still has it and loves the rifle. After a few years of not having one, I bought another. I've taken several deer with the newer one and IMHO, with a premium 117 or 120 grain bullet, it makes a nice large game rifle. My newer Rem is a bit heavy and I hope to replace it someday with a lighter model, but I will always have a 25-06 in my humble collection.
