[QUOTE="Locksley, post: 544740, member: 1107"] Quote by Craig Ron, That 25-06 shot 3/4" groups at 100 yds. with the 90 Grain Winchester Super X factory round! Talk about accurate. I shot a 21 lb. turkey in TX. with it years ago. It was a great rifle. The first rifle I ever deer hunted with was a Remington (model 21 ?) in 257 Roberts. Good round. Remington (model 721) in 257 Roberts yes it is a good round. The 257 Roberts was the favorite smallbore round in this country till the 6 MM Remington and the 243 Winchester came along. The 721 was the larger longer center fire action and the 722 was the shorter 222 Remington type center fire cartridge action back then. My fathers deer rifle was a Remington 721 in 30-06 Springfield and that was the first deer rifle I hunted with.
