First time I saw a photo of a #1, I wanted one in 25-06. Looked several years and though I saw some #1's, never a 25-06. Finally found a brand new one in a sporting goods store in Ft Collins, Colo, $265 out the door and had the money in my pocket. Picked it up and fooled with it a while and ended up leaving without it. Seems like the dream simply faded once I finally found it! I have a 25-06 today in a 700 Remington. Used it quite a bit when I first got it but 6.5's have replaced it for a hunting cartridge. Nice rifle and very accurate but 6.5's have simply pushed it aside. My son is happy about that, he love's the 25-06. matter of fact he had my mod 70 in 6.5x55 in town looking for a mountain lion that developed a taste for his horse's and decided he'd be better off with the 25-06. Well the 6.5x55 is here at home again and he has my 25-06. Hope he gives it back!
