The 25-06 is a fine, light recoiling cartridge. I think a lot of people choose the .243 Winchester and .270 Winchester instead, but the .25-06 is a very capable, flat shooting cartridge.

I personally have long drooled over the .257 Weatherby and have kicked myself for passing up a Lazermark with oak leaf engraving in that caliber many times. It is like a death ray.
