I love the 25-06 and have owned one for over 45 years. I have killed more deer and varmints with it that is unreal. That was my first high power rifle. I have two now, a sporter barrel and my heavy barrel varmint special. I reload for mine and will continue to do so. I have numerous components stocked up. It is NOT OBSOLETE, just like my gunsmith says to me when the 204 come out. He says this is the best caliber going, you need to get you one. I said what will the 204 do that my 22-250 will not do. He got very quiet and then said, not a thing, it will do it all. They keep pushing new calibers hoping you will fall for all the hype.
