Been searching for an older Sako 25-06 for some time..
a few weeks ago came across an AV stainless and bought it. It's very, very clean I mounted a set of Talley rings/bases and a Trijicon 3-9x40 mildot/greendot first range session I had the handload dialed in with the Barnes 100g TTSX. Ready for the fall! |

Should be a deadly combo. I've been using a 25-06 for several years. It's a "goodin".

Very nice, Charles! I have a M75 Hunter in .25-06. It's very accurate, runs smooth as silk, and I've killed a lot of critters with it! Ever since I bought it 12 years ago, it has become one of my "top 5" favorite deer rifles.

Very nice . I couldn't find one and settled for the T3 25-06. Does it have the 24" barrel?

No, 22.5"
Lose maybe 50fps I really wrestled with the barrel length until I came to terms with the fact it ain't going to make one bit a difference to a deer and I hate long barrels |
