For all the 25 caliber fans try the 110gr Accubond. I use it in my 257 Roberts, 25-06, 257 Wby and 25 WSSM. It hold together better than the ballistic tip.

My first high power rifle in 1973, when I turned 21, was a Belgian Browning Safari Grade Mauser in 30.06 with a beautiful stock that resembled tigers eye. At that age, I could put 5 shots in the same hole, prone at 100 yards. Browning marketed to 'The Browning Man' with the slogan, "It must be flawless." And they were: beautiful wood, deep blue, superb machining and finish, total reliability with controlled round feeding, and superb accuracy. Since then, I have added Belgian Brownings in .270, 7mm Mag, .308, .458 Win Mag, and .243 (Finland) to my collection.

For today's choice for foul-weather, deep woods hunting, I prefer Tikka (owned by Beretta) T3's made in Finland, push-feed, synthetic stocks (no worries about dinging walnut in the woods), stainless fluted barrels, guaranteed 1 MOA, light weight and regarded by some as, "The Modern Model 70."

Old World Brownings for collecting, admiring, and shooting under controlled circumstances, Tikkas for hunting under any conditions. How could you go wrong?

Wow, you guys have the money calibers. I have a 2008 70 featherweight in a 270 but my favorite is my 70 in 30.06 built in 1941, never been taped for a scope, just fits like it was built for me.

Hoping to go on a coyote hunt next week. Will carry a Ruger#1 in 25.06

My favorite is a Type S Oberndorf sporting rifle in 7x57 made in 1914, just before the non military rifle production was shut down for WW1. The bolt handle was slightly bent by a previous owner to allow the mounting of a Pachmayr tip off scope side mount. It holds 7/8" K3 Weaver scope. Those Germans knew how to build a nice rifle.

Winchester Model 71 /348/ peep sight for PA deer, until recently.
This past season I used a Bedford County rifle, a copy of Peter Whites' guns,
50 cal. Made by Tom Caster, Michigan.

I've owned a couple of pre-64 Model 70 Winchesters, a .270 and a .30-06, but I was never able to produce groupings @ 100 yards like those that my Winchester Model 70XTR Featherweight in .257 Roberts is capable of producing.
