Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Your favorite 25-06 hunting rifle and why???

I recently picked up an old ( I think its a 1969 make) Mod 700 (24" bbl) BDL. It had a ton of bullet fouling in it. After getting it all clean, etc it shoots very well. I can get the factory 120 Clkts into an inch-inch & quarter. I've only tried one handload so far, the 97gr Hammer. I can also get them into about an inch cluster, five shots. I'm going to try some 120 c&c and see how it does. So far, it has alot of promise. I like the "point and shoot, flat shooters alot. In past I've had a Mod 700 Classic and a couple more builds on Mod 700 actions, one was a take-off Mountain Rifle barrel that shot very well.

JERKING9,

Due cite the "particulars" of your CoreRock Fascinations and how they swoon you so...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?

Retardation is 1,000,000's of years old and you wear it "well",should that too soothe you. Hint.

Do tell how them CoreRocks are "flat shooting" and offer "mild recoil",for said "performance",if only personally as per your Retardation Meter. Hint.




Far MAXIMUM Oblivious Humor,dangle a picture of said Piece Of Fhuqking schit and dabble a little into how you have 'er "set up",due your uncanny "knowledge" and "experience". Dare ya'. HINT.

Flipside,for folks who's eyes ain't crossed. Hint.





Pardon my simply shooting it all,as you set astride your Couchbound Kchunt,as you guess aloud about wares you've never even fhuqking seen,let alone used,or could "afford". Hint.



Gals who "know" and "do" as "much" as you,will be ALWAYS best served by asking questions,rather than giving "answers". Hint.

CoreRock Factory Flight.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!.................






JamesQueen,

Now THAT schit was fhuqking FUNNY! Hint.

Bless your heart forfhuqking TRYING.

Hin.

Larry: I recently found some old 117gr Hornady RNs on the shelf. In your honor, I think I'll load up a few and take some deer with them this year. Not to worry, I will load them down to about 2700 FPS like you like it so it won't hurt my creaky old shoulder, and the sound pressure level will be at a point that it won't exacerbate my already advanced hearing loss. The only problem is that they have a BC of .243 (gasp!!). Is that enough to even get them out the end of the barrel? Please let me know....I don't want to waste my time.

Where do you expect to find any 220 grain 25 caliber projectiles?

Little dick go get your head out your azz. You [bleep] head.

Little dick how many times you got your azz beat. Intelligent people are trying to give the op thier answers and you are the only azz trying to bring stuff up that dont relate. I final had enough of you. I apologize to the op for going off.

kchuntexas,

I'm VERY "surprised!" that you fixate me constantly,as you "live" vicariously...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?

Do not "forget",that Imitation is THE most Sincere form of Flattery. Hint.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!..............





Rickety,

Are you inferring that a .362 BC is simply a .362 BC,in regards to flight characteistics,despite 100grs of mass difference...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?

I miss a keystroke now and again,but never where it matters. Hint.



Bless your "hard charging" heart,for feverisly reading my EVERY word and gawking EVERY Splendid Pixel,as you "live" vicariously aboard your Couchbound Kchunt. Hint.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!...............






JERKING9,

You are doing "GREAT!",obliviously quantifying your Retardation...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?

I'll feign my great SURPRISE,that you retreated to Whining and your latent Homoerotic Fantasies,rather than ANYTHING The Rifle. At least you found something you can do in the first hand! Fortunately for you,Imagination and Pretend are free,so even you can "afford" to "contribute",even if it is your Man Lust Fantasies. Hint.

You gals REALLY should combine "forces",to keep it "fair". HINT.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!.................

I put little dick on Ignore. He's obviously got some latent homo stuff going on what with his fascination for big guns and all. He's a puny little runt with nothing to offer so just ignore the troll.

poopsquish,

Your Imaginary Pretend Ignore is "working" "Great!"...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?

Keep extolling your very WELL founded and countless Insecurities and I'll happily fuel 'em. Fortunately for you,Imagination and Pretend are free,so even YOU can "afford" to "contribute". Hint.

Yet another "slow" day yesterday. Google as you MUST. Hint.





Fhuqking LAUGHING!..................

Berger 135s if I recall correctly have a G1 of like 650. They say an 8 twist runs them that would be quite the bullet out of a 25-06..

.58 G1 at 3k certainly wouldn't suck https://patriotvalleyarms.com/flm-257-117gr-cayuga-hunting-bullets-50ct/

I just finished up a 1-7 twist 25/06 on a nula 24b action. Topped with a 3.5-18x44 Swarovski Z5 it weighs right at 6 pounds 5oz. I’m looking forward to shooting 125gr hammer hunters in this rifle. I’m still working up a good load for the hammer hunters but the max looks like 3160fps.

My 25/06 story is a memorable one, and still have the rifle. The year was 1969( or 70) , a model 700 and my Uncle.
I was 11 or 12 and I read the Remington was chambering the 700 rifle in the 25/06 . It had been a wildcat up until that time. ( must of been O.L or S.A.)
My Uncle at that time was my hero, a nuts and bolts hunter , shooter and Handloader and I was so lucky he brought me into his world- just thrilled.
I took the magazine to him, and he honored me by reading it but I expected no more. I certainly didn't really believe he would be interested, he seemed larger than life to me.
Well, he bought the rifle and all the associated do dads to give it a go. War surplus powders, a variety of projectiles and brass( all with 30/06 headstamp/ Dominion), dies etc. Just like any confirmed gun nut of the time.
Eventually, I inherited this rifle.

I used this rifle, his data and Nosler 120 gr Partitions on sheep , goats, Deer, bull moose and bull elk , because of him (after he was gone )....as I aged it seemed a little bit too long and heavy to carry up the slopes.
I always thought I would really like the 25/06 in a single shot, keeping a long tube etc.
I would love to see the article that caused me to go to him about this. My guess it was 1969.
Enjoy your Sunday, folks

For all of the 25 06 owners do you find ammo available locally?

My Parker Hale Varmint .25/06.

That,

Is cool.

My favorite 25-06 is a 240 Wby with a 1/8 twist barrel, flinging Berger 115 vld's at 3150 fps.....

Mine is a 77 Tanger with a leupold vari-x III bought for the princely sum of somewhat under $400 or so back in '94. It was my first factory built hunting rifle, taking the place of a Kitchen Kounter Kustom Savage made No4 Mk1. I've not hunted with it in a lot of years, preferring a 7WSM for anything not doable with a 22 lr these days.

The reality is that most shooters aren’t in need of long range high BC bullets.

Pick what works for you.

That said, physics don’t lie and Stick isn’t wrong on his data or the effectiveness of said bullets.

Personally for a 25-06, I’d run a 117 to 120 grain cup and core or a 100 grain all copper.
