New custom 25-06

[nhenry]

Yes, the bolt is on the wrong side.

Here’s my most recent custom. It’s my second fast twist 25-06.

Specs:
Defiance Classic LH LA, 75° bolt throw
26” Shilen #4, 1:7t
Bell and Carlson sporter
Stainless BDL
40x trigger
Defiance 20moa rail
Warne Maxima horizontals, low
Leupold VX-R 4-12x40 windplex firedot

It weighs 8 lbs, 14 oz without the bipod.

I built it as my ultimate western Kansas beanfield/open plains rifle. Will be loading 107gr Hammer HBCs when they arrive.

Still have to do some stock modifications, mainly the ejection port cutout and bedding

Enjoy.

As cartridges go, I love a nice 25-06!

 

[CForest]

Awesome, I have a fast twist 25-06 Ackley getting built right now!

 

[brockel]

Killed quite a few deer and antelope and a ton of coyotes with a 25-06. One of my favorite cartridges

Good looking rifle…

 

[belshawelk]

Beautiful. Sneaky lefty I see.

Great looking rifle!

I had to .257 Roberts myself…because, well, my name is Robert…

 

[belshawelk]

.25 is the only bore I dont have and need to fill. Gets me thinking.

Time to stop thinking and to start spending

I cant decide. I really want a .257 Weatherby but then I read a lot about the 25-06.

I bought a 6.5-300 because I have a .30 Cal conflicted sole. Have a safe full of .30's. Clearly the 6.5-300 doesn't fill the bill but I tried. It is awesome though and shoots laser beams. Kinda like the .257 WM.............see what I mean.

 

[VikingsGuy]

But none of those are 25-06

Nice!!!!!!!!!1

I’ve never messed with a fast twist or any of the new, high bc bullets but a 100 grain partition or ttsx have been money for deer in my 700. Nice build, except for the backwards bolt!

 

[gwhunter]

That's a sharp looking rifle!!

 

[noharleyyet]

That 1:7 ought'a spin a long heavy...

That’s the goal eventually. NRL hunter does one match in KS and it seems fun.
