Howdy all, I've been kickin around the idea of rebarreling my Stevens (savage) 110. The rifle is currently a 30-06, but I've been contemplating 25-06. Including this rifle I have 2-8mm mausers, 1-Turk mauser getting a 7x57 barrel, and a couple mosins. I think I have my "big game" category pretty well covered, but all I have on the smaller end is a 22lr and a 22 mag. Now for my question (finally), how many uses are there for a 25-06? I've heard they make an excellent deer rifle, and I've also heard that they can be run with light bullets for varmints, though maybe a bit overkill.
Is there anything I'm missing, like maybe they make an excellent long range rifle, or the gun itself can be made lighter do to very little recoil? I've never owned, or shot a 25-06 so I don't really know much other than what I've heard from a few people. One thing I have heard though, anyone that owns one loves it.
So if y'all just wanna give me some pro's and con's on the round, that'd be great. Thanks ahead of time for any input.
