I'm leaning 25-06,
I was too several years back. But the gun I wanted didn't come in a 25-06.

Ballistics wise, the 6mm Remington was not for off and the gun came in that caliber. Wise choice, great for deer/hog size game out to 250 yards or so. Never lost one and Ive shot quite a few.

Boom Count! Been shooting a Model 700 Carbine 6mm for 20 years, never had a deer/pig take a freaking step after squeezing off.

Had 3 pigs piled up at 240 yds last weekend. Buddy missed at 50 with his big ol manly 300 Ultra Mag. Shot placement is key

Just bought a Ruger M77 MarkII 6mm yesterday and the gentleman who turned me on to this caliber and has at least 10 of these in different makes, is already making cash/trade offers. Great Caliber, and somewhat unique!!
