Maybe not the best, but Definetly my favorite. A svelte little Biesen built 25-06AI holds a special spot for me.

I played with a 22-06 improved for a little while and that was pretty fun. We rechambered a 223 barrel and torched the throat in about 200 rounds.  :tup:

Realistically, I loved my 338-06. Not super fast or flashy, but it was a solid chambering. It was also the first custom gun I built about 15 years ago; it got out of hand after that....

Not really surprised. .280 is a great round. I wish they would make a factory 6.5/06.

270 Win has long been my favorite round.  Have killed tons of deer and a few elk with it.  Interesting article.

280, 30-06 and 35 Whelen are my favorites.  No particular order.

I love my 06.. I just miss the 30c a round military surplus... I should have really stocked up when the CMP was selling it at 33c a round plus shipping.

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.
