Picked up my "Kool Blue" 25-06 from the FFL last week.

Told the guy the story that I had the 7600 in 25-06 with the gray/black laminate stock a few years ago but did not like the stock and used it in a trade for a 7600 in 257 Roberts.

So he opens up the box and said," so you wanted one even uglier".

Well he is right it is even uglier than the gray/black laminate.

Have not shot it yet. Need a scope, mounts, rings, sling ect..

Don't think I will get it done this year.

So now I have 7600's in 6mm Rem, 25-06 Rem, 257 Roberts, 7mm-08 Rem, 30-06 (son), 35 Rem and 35 Whelen.

Would like 260 Rem, 300 Savage and 358 Win if they would only make it.

But of course I only use the 35 Rem 90% of the time and the Whelen the other times.
