    Even tho I was foolish enough to part with my 25-06 a number of years back, I still have a hankering for another. I dont actually give a rats arse whether it has less oomph at 276.5 metres, or that some other projectile/calibre combination has more whatever on paper. In my experience, it is just as a number of people have stated - it is a very easy calibre to shoot accurately. And it kills! A very good friend of mine was often asked what he would recommend for shooting tahr, or chamois, or pigs, or deer, at X meters in a howling NWester, or a foggy southerly etc etc - and his answer was always the same "whatever you choose so long as the bullet and target connect" A 25-06 would be a nice mid calibre addition to my gunsafe, if anyone can find me a spare 25 cal barrel.
