[QUOTE="crrcboatz, post: 2774022, member: 32702"] Well if I add a high end benchrest style stock, and a match trigger Im pretty well there. The idea of a single shot was only based on the chance to use the Magnum receiver I had located. Once it was clear one could only go with magnum calibers I lost all interest. My tired shoulders one of which has already been repaired just could not handle their recoil. I then began to consider what was out there already in production. The 25 06 has a lot of potential for accuracy and low recoil. It will usually be found in a long action. That in turn opens all kinds of choices in stock configurations, and of course as it turned out the Tikka name is one of the best in terms of out of the box accuracy. By spending maybe a grand or so on this rifle I will have something that will be a accurate rifle that did not require a magnum build as the action I spoke to did. Mo do you have suggestions for improving on the Tikka 3 in that caliber? I equipped to reload for 6.5x55, 204, and 223, now adding 25 06 to the mix won't be a big deal. Help appreciated. [/QUOTE]
