Ingvar J. KristjanssonI finally completed my Sauer rig
Well I finally completed my Sauer 202 rig the other day when I bought my third barrel in 25-06, previously I had a barrel in 30-06 and 9.3x62. So now I have two sets of stock (a nice wood and synthetic for crappy weather), three barrels (25-06, 30-06 and 9.3x62) and two scopes S&B 1.5-6 and 2.5-10.
Here are some bullets the rifle really likes:
250 gr. Nosler Accubond (9.3mm); 165 gr. Sierra Gameking (30-06) and 70 gr. Sierra Blitzking (25-06)
So now looking in my save I really could do all my hunting with just 3 rifles; my Sauer plus a CZ 22LR and CZ 458 Lott ! But having more rifles then needed is so much more fun

Nah, there's always another Barrel Option to lust for in the Grand-Scheme-of-Things.
Great bullet & cartridge selection.
The 25-06 Remington is an oustanding long-range Roe thumper that extends it's usefullness for larger game as well.
I have had considerable success with Barnes 80 & 100 gr. TTSXs, Combined Technology 115 gr. Ballistic Silvertip and the Sierra 120 gr. HPBT.
Have Fun.
Great setup & combination of calibers!

BushchookThey would be the same barrels I'd buy if I didn't already have those gaps filled above my .25/06. I went for the 24 inch barrel in that calibre. Has only been blooded this week on an unfortunate fox.

ghostrider272Are you both using the steel or alloy receiver?

BushchookMine is steel. Not a light rifle but I don't need that.
