Hey jackelope, is that the egw standard rail or the hd rail?

It's the HD one.

Did you have the Custom Shop put that m1 turret on there or did you buy it used like that?

Great what are your thoughts on it? I have had a couple standard egw rails and am thinking of ordering a hd one for my newest rifle.
Seems they are a bit lower profile than the standard.

Got it used like that.

I honestly don't have much to compare it to. I have a standard one, 0moa, on one of my Encores. This one is definitely beefier, but that's really all I got.

I've used the EGW rails in the past and find nothing wrong with them.

:yeah: I've had 2 and both have been great. I'm just curious if there's a major difference from standard to hd

 :yeah: not a huge selection of quality bullets for it but you'll find a good one if you spend some time (and some money) on finding the right one(s). 

With three rifles in .25-06, I have developed good loads using IMR 4350 and H4831sc so finding powder isn't going to be hard either.

Dang this looks like a fun shooter  :tup:

The Pic slots are full length on the HD and the HD is 7075 aluminum instead of 6061.


Probably worth having HD's on any magnum class rifle with a heavy optic.

110 Accubond
115 hunting VLD
115 Barnes TSX
Going to try them all in no particular order. Or not. One of them will work.

sure would be cool if someone came out with a slick bullet so this could smack down the 6.5's

I was set to pull the trigger on one of these in 7mm or 300wm when I come across a first gen Sendero in 7mm. Still working a load but cant wait to stretch its legs.

From what I've read I think it's almost a Sendero. Really not sure but either way, I'm with you.
Same barrel length, different stocks Rem LR have Bell and Carlaon, Senderos have HS Precision, xmark triggers in the LR. I read alot about them and from what I gathered the xmark triggers were terrible. Looks like a solid rig!!!

It's a chicken-and-egg thing of the lack of heavy-for-weight caliber bullets and tight twist .257 tubes.  To get the most out of one, you need the other.

The cool thing a 1-10" 25-06 is great for is offering up a legit deer and elk round with 110-115 gr accubonds/Barnes, and switching to 3400+ FPS varmint rounds with the 87-90 gr HP's out there. 

Very, very versatile cartridge.
