Well that 25-06 oughtta be a good setup for my wife once she's here !
The 100 grain bullet has virtually no recoil from the bench and certainly not when hunting .
I bought it just because I liked the fiddle back in the maple stock . Plus it came with a nice old Redfield 3-9 from the same time period as the 6-18 thats on it now . The rifle was made between 68-74 I believe . The company was not in buisness very long . Their trigger is not as good as a 700 as I can't get it below about 3 1/2 pounds but it is creep free and rather crisp when it breaks . So it should be plenty safe for my wife .
I'm going back to the Philippines February 15th provided the shyte doesn't hit the fan anywhere as I'm going thru Dubai again . Anyway when I go over this time I plan to get some 22 ammo once I'm over there and take her to her brothers house and give her some instruction shooting his old Remington 512 I think it is !
Thats my BIL's preferred pigeon gun
I went wild pigeon hunting with him and his buddy in June of 2009 . We went out in what looked like jungle and shot them out of the tree's with 22 Shorts and Air Pellet rifles . I thought we would hunt from the beach or something and went in shorts and sandles MISTAKE !
