DF. Seiko comment reminds me of talking to a Canadian at the Sako booth at SHOT a few years back. Claimed he killed a moose with his 25-06 at over 500 yds. Store bought ammo in the green and yellow box. Short blood trail in the snow. I reckon a Creedmoor could replicate wink

JMR. Agree on newbies. What do you recommend? I gather the 308 has replaced much of your '06 needs these days.

To the OP. Like others here who are not owners it's not my fave round. Yet if an outfitter told me an '06 was obsolete - especially on non-dangerous game, I'd laugh and find another guide. JS.

You got lucky. Congrats on your Moose wink.
