        Yeah 25-06 is much easier to locate on a regular basis. 257 not so much. 25 caliber rifles are great deer rifles. I wish there was more of a market for them.

        I've been thinking I want an 7-08. Is 7-08 a good caliber for say Axis, Mule Deer and Aoudad?
        Hell yes!!

          Load that puppy up with some 140 Gr. Nosler Accubonds and you can whack just about anything you want!

            The 117 grn 25.06 is legit!! Dads ruger 1 and my TC shoot it well. I like the 25.06 a lot and considered this build in it. Ive taken a fair amount of deer with it with an 87 grn also.

            Im really torn on this entire APR deal. Order for me or sons graduation (even though hes only a freshman). Then theres the caliber dilemma. Dont have a need for a magnum rifle really. More interested in a whitetail round from the pineywoods to south texas deer and maybe antelope. Reloading at pops is possible but not a deal breaker if I dont mess with it. Right now he loads for us but we dont go thru much ammo. Heck Ive had the same box of 25.06 for the TC for 4 or 5 years

              Still thinking about this. Really in a quandary about what caliber to get if I decide to order. My current APR is in .264 Win Mag. I have several other calibers in production rifles, from .270 Win up to .375 H&H. I don't have anything between .264 and .22-250.

                  A 25 cal sure would fit nice in there

                    Might as well step up to a 338 lapua!

                      I was thinking more along the lines of:

                      270 wsm
                      25-06
                      7mm-08
                      .260
                      6.5 creed
