Its been a while
« on: July 09, 2010, 05:32:54 AM »
Havent been on in a while. I have been busy working and reajusting to beeing back stateside and spending time with the wife. But was able to make it out last weekend and really got a chance to start shooting the 25-06. I put 80 rounds through it on that day. Picture is a 200 yard group with a quarter for reference on a 4in red circle target. This group was shot with rem 120grain green box. A Bushnell Elite 3200 10x sits on top and I am very happy with that scope. I have been very happy with this load for factory ammo. Now to work on reloads. The badger was taken this morning while calling coyotes. He stood up after about 25 seconds of calling and started puffing up and lunging forward then backing up it was quite interesting. The shot was only 25yards or so so no long shot on him, but a fur to add to the collection reguardless.

Yes, thanks for your service!  Do you think you can better that group? Very good at 200 yds. That badger must have huge at 25yds using 10x.

I think that may be the limit of what I can shoot with this setup, a trigger job would help I guess. He looked like a monster with 10x.
