My favorite 25-06, a '78 vintage Savage 112'J' series single shot. These 'J' actions are fairly unique not only in screw spacing but also the bolt plug, firing pin assy.,overall fit and finish, trigger adjustability and barrel quality. They were meant as a blue collar alternative to the 40X's of the era. Every one I've owned were wonderfully accurate factory guns, once the bedding was squared away. This one likes a big dose of N140 and the Sierra 75 @3,650 for solid 1/2" 5 shot performance. It's got a Sightron S-Tac 4-20 with the MOA reticle on it now...that makes it almost too easy in a 'dog town.

The case volume is better balanced with the 85-100's and the accuracy comes around a bit with these bullet weights. The BIB 88 is especially impressive at 3,450-3,500.





Good shootin' -Al
