not much past 300 yards

Velocity vs weight doesn't change until about 500 yards when the greater momentum of the 270 holds speed over the 25-06...barely.
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

Don't get me wrong here, no such thing as un-needed guns in my book, but your 30-06 will be just as good as anything else out to 300 yards. Better than any 25-06 or 270 when it comes to bears and elk.

I bought two of my adult sons new Savage Axis .223's for Xmas.  They love them.  Very accurate.  Complained of the trigger pull but they found an online fix for the trigger.  Didn't take them very long and it lightened the pull quite a bit.  It was just a simple spring replacement.

25-06 is a great cal :IBCOOL: It will take even the biggest game with the right bullets. Don't know the gun so can't help there.

Man, I've got a bone to pick with you Beginner. I would like to know how you managed to get a 25-06 smuggled into this town. I have been in every gun store and pawn shop in this town and whenever I ask if they have any 25-06s in stock I get responses like: "Why would you want that" or "You don't need that you need a 30-06 because a 25 is too small to shoot a deer with" and my personal favorite from the expert behind the counter "What the hell is a 25-06"

So next time you involve yourself in a 25-06 smuggling operation you should have the common courtesy of letting a fellow HW member in on the action.  :chuckle: Just messing with ya. Hope you enjoy the new toy.

A 100gr Barnes TSX or TTSX and the 25-06 is a deadly combination!!

Run a couple patches through the bore to make sure you don't have any chips left in there from machining and if you are really anal clean it every shot for about the first 20. You are really just trying to let the bore get lapped by the bullets without getting a buildup of copper, it will make the rifle easier to routinely clean throughout it's life, you could also use a bit of bore paste to polish it up a bit before firing and just shoot as usual.

 :yeah: I do that for the first 10. Then again, between the first 3-4 3 shot groups I shoot with a new gun.

so I took my guns out to the range yesterday,  loved the axis.  It shoots awesome.  My wifes loves that gun too.  And she loves how it doesn't kick too much.   

for some reason my wife thinks that the save axis is her gun.   :yike: :dunno:

what the heck??!! I bought it for myself.  :chuckle:    now I have to convince her that she needs a reloading kit for "her" gun.    And she thinks my shotgun is her gun too.  :dunno:    :yike: :bdid:  SHE'S  TAKING EVERYTHING!!.   I have no guns left.   :'( 

lol  I guess it could be worse.  Lol  at least she let me keep my .22 lol  and she lets me shoot "her" guns.   :drool: :chuckle:
