Built one for the kid years ago. 115 combined technologies killed antelope, mule deer, whitetails, bull elk, and mountain goats for him so far. Hasn't gotten much play lately but I expect to see it again soon.
I don’t have picture but mine is a classic sporter in a model 70 5 digit. Just floated the barrel the other owned it for 2 yrs 😁. Next off week will mess with more load development I know where a bunch of 120 partitions are at. I have a bunch of 117 Sierra’s, 120 Sierra’s, 120 speers and the original 120 nosler solid base Bullets.

Those 117 Sierra’s will do work.. I mostly shoot Accubonds in line because the load is incredibly accurate. I load the 127 Gamekings for my brother in law. I think he’s at 22 whitetails with it now. Performance has been impressive.
Don't speculate when you don't know, and don't second guess when you do.
Mine was a heavy barrel Ruger 77 tanger from 1974. I used 4064 and 3031 to shoot 75 grain Sierra flat based hollow points very fast and very accurately. All I ever used it for was woodchucks.
Closest I’ve got now is .25-06 AI in a 26 inch TC Encore barrel. I’ve shot some deer and caribou with it, always shooting 100 grain TSX. Got in my mind to play with it soon…I’ve got some 117 SGK’s to try.
I’ve had several, Remington sps, Savage heavy barrel, 2 Browning a bolt stainless stalkers, a Cooper and a Kimber. They’ve all gone down the road, unfortunately no pics.
The 25.06 is no doubt my favorite caliber and ive had several different ones over the years. I've sold a couple that I'm still kicking myself for, one was a Rem 700 classic and the other a Sendero. My current and favorite and one that I'll never let go is a Rem 700 CDL with a Leupold VX5HD on top. My favorite bullet is a Speer 120gr Hot-Cor.
