This is my first 700 in quite awhile, and a bit of a departure for me lately.
This is a Remington 700 in 25-06. To complement the rifle we bought some vintage Redfield mounts and rings, found NIB from approx. the same year as the rifle. (1990-ish) The scope is a newer VX-2 4-12X40mm. to take advantage of the advances in optical performance from the newer scopes. I think this really came together nice. We have a few bullet and powder combos available to try, but I think first up will be some Nosler 115 gr. Ballistic tip hunting bullets and some IMR-4350.
We also have some 25-06 factory ammo to try including Federal Premium 117 gr. Sierra Game King as well as Federal Power-Shok 2506BS 117 gr. SP. Hopefully we will get a chance to report back on how it shoots.
