[QUOTE="Sourdough, post: 787661, member: 5425"] I have talked to my good friend Coke Wallace, a professional wolf hunter, and guide. Coke guides a lot of hunters out to kill wolves in the spring, and always knows where and when to find them. I was talking to him about which gun I should use. He had one and only one caliber he recommends. The 25-06, it has enough authority to knock a wolf down for keeps. It also has the range to hit Wolves out at longer ranges. Once Coke finds a pack and starts shooting he wants to take out the whole pack. We are over run with Wolves up here and the Caribou and Moose calves need the relief. I go out and take Wolves under a trapping license. Pelts are bringing $400 and up right now. I use a 25-06, with another 25-06 as back up on the sled. I took a Savage 110 frame and barrel in 25-06, and had a Rifle Basics trigger put on it. I had a brake added, and put it in a Keystone Thumb hole laminated stock. I put a Cabela's Alaska Guide 4-16 scope with the range finding reticle. This gun works great out to 500 yards. But it is a cantidate for a better scope. I am looking at the Bushnell Elite. The one with the built in range finder. The one that ranges out to 800 yards. 700 yards is the limit for the 25-06. Oh you can hit one out farther, but the energy just is not there to finish the job.
