How is the 25-06's performance on elk? I always though it was a bit light for those tough buggers.

My first deer Rifle was a 250-3000 model 99 Savage. I killed about a dozen Whitetails and my first couple Muley bucks. My little brother used it some and killed his first whitails amd muleys with it. The gun has been retired for a while but will always be my favorite.

Then came the 284 win in a model 100. a good cartrige im my opinoun, but a poor gun. I then used a 300 win mag for a while it was a killing machine and very accurate. The gun was a overkill however and with a bad shoulder I don't use it anymore. I used a 270 in a model 70 lightweight for a while, I gave it to a friend and the gun is now a 280. He likes the gun and now uses it for all his big game. I now use a Model 70 270 and this I believe will be it for rifles.

I found a 30-06 yes found high on a mountain in MT the funny thing is I have found 2 rifles while hunting MT. The other is a 1860's henry rifle with a octogon barrel. Some stories behind these.

Anyone interested in my stories on these old guns? If so, some cold MN day I will tell the story, with pics.

Here are my two big game rifles. No need to explain which is my old 30-06 savage, with all its memories and which is my new 7mm mag.
