[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1186709, member: 10178"] 22" barrel 25-06 basically becomes a 257AI Roberts 24" barrel and that ain't nothing to sneeze at. I prefer a 26" barrel on my 25-06s and have had a couple 24" 25-06s and have shot a few hundred deer with the caliber and many different bullets from 100 to120 gr and there is not enough difference between any of them to tell. I have killed a few deer with a 250 Savage out to 300 yards with 100 gr Sierra bullets and the deer drop in their tracks just like from the 25-06. I did crop damage control on a big farm in east NC for 15 years were 100 deer a year needed to be taken and used about everything from a stick to a 45-70 to take them. I can tell you that most any rifle in a .257 cal. is a deer killer if you do your part. [/QUOTE]
