I’ve owned 4 different 25-06 s since the early 80s. It’s unbeatable on deer Antelope Sheep. Many in Wyoming and Montana believe it’s great as an Elk rifle as well. My uncle killed more Elk with it over the years than most guys will get in several lifetimes. I’ve cleanly taken a 3 year old cow Elk at 550 yards with it and a 117 grain Hornady Sst at 3,200 fps Muzzle velocity. Hot reloads mind you but she’s effective. I personally only used it because my 300 Rum was a scope killer and my Rum was off a mile so a grabbed my trusty 25-06. I’ll never be without one.

Love the 25-06! Mine is in a T/C Venture but a 6.5CM & 30-06 in the Savage Axis. All shoot very well. Great vid!

Great vid! Just ordered a .25-06 in the plain Jane Axis, hope it is a winner as well. ordered a trigger spring kit for it also. I've always wanted to tinker with that caliber for longer range hunting.

Love the old 25-06, I bought a Browning A bolt in the early 80s and it seamed to shoot everything from 75 grain to 120 grain bullets to the same point of aim! A little excessive for varmints but perfect for deer size game.

Thanks for the comment Ron! I would have to agree, it is a bit much for varmints, although I can't say I haven't thought about using it on a coyote if I happen to see one while I have it on me. Also, I think it might be pretty fun on prairie dogs. HaHa! Anyway, a friend of mine has used the 25-06 exclusively for about 30 years on deer, elk, antelope and black bear. As far as he is concerned, there's no need to have another rifle, it's worked very well for him anyway. Thanks for watching, have a good one!

I bought my own first new deer rifle (Browning A-bolt Medallion, .25-06) in '86. Twenty-five years later realized I'd gotten a first year production of the model. To this day it doesn't have 100 rounds through it. Longest DRT'd deer was 436 yards.

Nedner 257 Roberts was based on the 7×57 German cartridge. The 25-06 is based on a 30-06 cartridge necked down to a 25 diameter.

Savage rifles are the only rifle I would buy past 25 years... all of them would clover 🍀 leaf at 100 but I reload which made it even more accurate.. Savage is the only one I will buy.. I have several axis now in different calibers..did some testing today and shot almost same hole with 5 rds

Hey Scott, I completely agree. I have a Win Model 9422M thats almost 40 but other than that just Savage. I can't believe how accurate the Axis's are. They kind of have the feel of an entry level rifle but they sure don't shoot like it. I have one in 270 win I need to shoot as well. I hope it does as well as the 25-06. Thanks for the comments, Have a good one.

@@leverbolt7699 it's VERY easy to lighten the trigger up... takes a whole 3 minutes.. mine always came about 9 or 10 pds but lighten to 3 pds... polish the sear some and it will be a different animal .. will shoot like a 2000 buck rifle

Hey Sinister, thanks for the comment! Hmmm, I'm not a huge fan of the 25-06 but I would have to say the 6.5 Creed is the most overrated cartridge of all time. Atleast in my opinion. Have a good one!
