Cheers for any advice!

Bloody heathen! what you mean "upgrade" your 25-06!

Longer shots?: a properly loaded 25-06 kills Tahr out to and past 400 with no drama, I've had all sorts from .243 to .338 Lap and I keep coming back to my 25-06's as my go to rifle, (well till a couple of days ago, but that's another story)

Don't think you deserve a 25odd, better give it to me before you hurt it's feelings.........
