I took my Mauser 25-06, which I built myself back in 1991, and with which I killed my first antelope that year, on my AZ antelope hunt this fall. Here it sits on a nice Arizona benchrest about halfway through the 10 day hunt.

It was a long, and sometimes very hot, hunt, and the rut kicked in late. Finally got my goat on the morning of the tenth and last day of the season. Stayed the whole time in my wall tent in sweet country, saw tons of elk (and almost no goats!!), and never had to look down at an ugly rifle in my hands.

Don't hate on the bipod now, fellas...;o)
