This is a nice rifle, if my Tikka SL in 30.06 shoots great, then, my R700 in 30.06 will be turned into a 6.5-06. Wish I had deep pockets, because I would snatch this rifle up asap. Bump for a nice rifle.

This is a fraction of what it would take to duplicate this rifle...
One more try then back to the safe -

Do you have any idea what the velocity is using the 140gr bullets?

I believe the velocity of a 25-06 140 grain bullet would be very close to 2900-2950 f.p.s. Excellent cartridge with Berger bullets over distance. With hunting bullets ballistics are about par with a .270 Win. Great buy for someone.

most reloading manuals show 140 gr bullets at 2750 and pressure of 62000 psi
do you go past that?

Buyer backed out a bit ago and never bumped up.
I've added a rail under fire end for bipod attachment.
Also includes more brass, at least another bag.
Reduced to $1,200. I'm so rifle rich it's not even funny...

If I didnt already have a 6.5-06 I would buy this one. Bump for a nice rifle in a great chambering.

I've held this rifle and it is for sure a sweet rig. What a bargain for $1200. Thats easily less than half the cost.
