I’ve heard they need to have at least a 24” inch barrel and it’s hard to beat Savage for off the shelf accuracy. Doesn’t seem like they make one with a 24” Barrel. Any recommendations on brand or rifle. Thanks.

He’s shot several with my 308 and he’s dead set on a rifle that has more potential to drop them in their tracks. I’ve tried a lot of different ammo, and the deer usually don’t go far, but rarely drop from a 308, and we helped track a perfectly double lung shot doe on a youth hunt shot with a 308, zero blood trail. Shot with a psp 150gr Federal.

But I know the Weatherby Vanguard S2 is a 24" barrel and right at the $500 mark.

Anybody have a Weatherby in 25-06? Curios what kind of groups some have got. Also the Savage 110 Apex hunter shows that it comes with a 24” Barrel. Just can’t find much info on that rifle. Would be wanting something that would shoot sub MOA with the right ammo. Is that unrealistic for off the shelf accuracy in a 25-06?
