I am a fan of the 06. But put 25 in front of it. Hard hitting flat shooting low recoil and deadly. But as Ed stated if you dont plan to load, think about it cuz ammo is expensive, but all ammo is getting expensive. 115 grain nosler partition and 50.5 grains of IMR 4831 you will not go wrong. I am also a fan of single shots, but I choose an encore.
