That is were I am at ... I have a new to me 25-06 Kimber Montana. I am going to shoot it to see where it is at, but if there is a hint it needs a new barrel off it will go and I would like get a 1:8 if it was no disadvantage in the 100grain bullets.

Now watch it shoot like crazy and not need a new barrel smile

I got this rifle when I really was looking to build a 257 Weatherby but common sense told me you get about 95% of the 257 WBY with a 25-06 (or so it seems to me)
