My 15 year old has been reading up and really wants a 25-06. I've never shot one or been around anyone that owns one, but a lot of you clowns on this website really approve of them.
My dad started a gun fund when they were born. He said he doesn't do toys, so instead he puts $100 in a savings account for all 3 of my boys for their birthday and $100 for Christmas. Needless to say the kids got money burning a hole in his pocket and he wants a deer rifle that he can call his own.

Who makes a good 25-06 that we can find or possibly order with a reasonable lead time?(Bergara or Tikka)

And what ammo for whitetail and where to find it??


Thanks!
