I'm a huge .25 caliber fan and the 25/06 is an outstanding cartridge. I think the creedmore is over rated, I would like to see a 6.5/06 factory rifle available and surprised it hasn't happened.

I’ve found a sweet spot in my heart for my .25-06. I’m probably going to end up with a 6.5 Creedmoor at some point I guess. The 6.5-06 is interesting for the ability to shoot heavier bullets.  My .25-06 on the right.

I must be getting old then because every time I hear somebody going on and on about the 6.5 Creedmoor I just feel like punching a kitten. :chuckle:

I've got a buddy who's really into PRS right now and all he talks about is either the 6x47 Lapua or the 6 Creedmoor and how they can shoot 115gr bullets at over 3000 fps. Every time, I remind him that I was doing that years ago with a 243. Same goes for the 6.5 Creedmoor/6.5x47 Lapua and the 260 Rem.

I don't have any love for the 25-06 either. That's the only caliber I've owned in a factory gun (2 different rifles) that I couldn't get to shoot better than .75" for 5 shots at 100 yards. I gave up on both guns and the caliber forever.

You’re just sour grapes and a hater!  :yike:
Did I tell you about my new creedmoor yet? It has a chassis stock!
I’m still trying to find a way I won’t have to tell people I have a creedmoor when my new gun is done.  :chuckle:
