harv3589-IME the 25/06 is one heck of a round! Elk, moose whatever. I could easily hunt with one for the rest of my life and feel very comfy.

If building I'd go 9 twist. More than likely I'd shoot 7828, 115 Bergs or 115 NBT's and some of my stash of old 117 Noz semi's.

My best friend and his two sons all have 25/06's that I got them and it's all they use for all that moves.

You're on the right track my friend.
