[QUOTE="brinky, post: 1459814, member: 41373"] I have owned both and both are very capable for what you intend to hunt. Your issue will be finding ammo for the 25-06. I highly recommend starting to hand load your own ammo. Anyone who likes guns and hunting will appreciate loading their own ammo. Unfortunately the 25 caliber is dying off due to the 6.5. It’s a self fulfilling prophecy basically. The 25 isn’t as good as the 6.5 because no one makes good bullets for it so no one shoots it. So no one shoots it anymore because no one makes good bullets for it. All a 25-06 needs is someone to make a high BC bullet at about 125-130 grains and it will be king of the world. So, all said you would be better off with a 6.5 at this point in the game. Start hand loading and it doesn’t matter. [/QUOTE]
