My favorite 25-06 is a Marlin XL7, a rifle that is more accurate than most entry level rifles that I've owned. I have loaned it out to several different people and it is about the hardest to get back 'cause it is easy to shoot accurately. Before owning this rifle, I thought that 25-06s had to have at least a 24" barrel, but the Marlin works well with just a 22" barrel.
