After having come close to buying a blued Sendero in .270(strangely the .270 only comes in blued), I finally decided to get the Sendero SF in .25-06 Remington. It took some research into the caliber to change my mind since I currently own a Synthetic ADL in .270 and it shoots very well, but I decided to take a chance on the "unique" caliber and I also preferred the stainless. Apparently the .25-06 is more popular than I had first thought(especially in the west), and after doing my homework, found that it seems to be the "perfect"(at least for me) all around caliber for varmints to big game to targets, especially since I plan to handload for it. I'm just surprised it is not even more popular than it is(but maybe that's just because I live in Florida). There is a very broad range of bullets for it from the factory as well as for handloading. I also bought a Burris 6-24x Signature scope w/target turrets and fine plex in matte black. I am anxiuosly waiting for the weekend to come so that I can try it out. Any suggestions on ammo or handloads is appreciated. I currently have some 100gr. Federal Balistic Tips and some Winchester 90 gr. Positive Expanding Point rounds to try. As for the rifle and .25-06 caliber itself, opinions, suggestions, comments?
