    I'm looking for a 25-06 with a 24" barrel or longer. The gun needs to be in excellent condition or new. I'm looking for a lighter weight hunting rifle not a bench gun.

    Browning, X-Bolt, Weatherby Vanguards and Rem 700's would all work. I'd be interested in others too.
    I prefer stainless.
    Let me know what you have for sale.

     Dpduckhunter13  That post of yours seems to be pretty common with the ELD-X.  Out of my 300 Win Mag the 200 gr ELD-X is the most accurate bullet I've ever shot.  It's a flat out hammer out to 600 yards on steel.  

     I've mostly Archery hunted over the years and just wanted one large magnum for when I drew some killer Elk Tags.  Bullet choice seems to be a major compromise.   I'm going to do my best to get the 200 gr Accubonds to shoot very well this spring when it warms up a bit.

    Thanks for all the info.  Best of luck to everyone in the draw.

    I was wondering what everyone's favorite elk Bullet is and what your average shot distance is on the Bull(s) you've killed in AZ?   I've been shooting steel with the 200 gr ELD-X out of my 300 Win Mag but never had a chance at an Elk with this load.  The ELD-X is the most accurate bullet I've ever shot but have the reports say they do not hold up well at all on shots under 400 yards.

    I have been seriously thinking about changing to the 200 gr Accubond.   Has anyone here used the ELD-X on Elk and how did they perform?   How about the Accubond?

    I know this a tough subject but what can be done about it?   I know when I finally get a chance to hunt bulls in AZ I'm going to make sure the shot I take is a great one.   Being a non res I may have to go guided so I know if I screw up my hunt will be over.    If I were to hunt solo and wounded a bull I'd search as long as my hunt lasted to find it.   I wouldn't shoot another bull.   I wish there was some way to police this.     How about a F&G rule that if you injure a big game animal and can't recover it you are done?  I'd be sick if I was that guy who has already crippled or killed 5 bulls in Unit 9.
