Rifles for new hunter

[RT2506]

If you want to really reach out there and bust a varmint especially when the wind gets up the 25-06 is the one I would pick. When it comes to deer the 25-06 is my favorite. I have killed well over 100 with a 25-06 and can count without taking off my shoes the ones that have taken a step after taking a 117 gr Sierra Pro Hunter from point blank out to a little over 500 yards.

Alright thanks. Im not going to only be hunting deer. Im gonna be mostly rock chucks and target shooting. Ive been shooting my uncles 25-06 and I really liked it. Our rock chucks are just now coming out and we've been plinking them from about 500 yards with his rifle. I really, really, really liked his rifle. But ive just been really disappointed with my current rifle, and no one seems to figure out whats wrong with it. I just want a accurate flat shooting rifle. A friend recommended the Savage 111 LRH, But like I said im a little bit worried about the light barrel. Because from what ive heard its a really hot burning round and I would assume it would heat up the barrel pretty quickly.

I think you have answered your own question. You like your Uncle's .25-06. Get one like it, or as close to it as you can find. Problem solved.
