25-06 and 257 Roberts aren't too shabby on whitetail. Never lost a deer with either one.

Ive got a custom 25-06 Sako AV in a light varmint contour 23" barrel, matte black, in a black McMillan stock, Zeiss Daivari V 3-12x56..
THE perfect Beanfield/Clearcut rifle.
115gr Nosler BT, max imr4350 - thumbnail groups @ 100yds. The first three deer I killed with it as luck would have it were all nice bucks...
I shot one of them in the corner of the EYE at 150 yards in a grown up clearcut bc that was all I could see.
You put that 10lb rifle on a shooting rail and lock in the elbow and the crosshairs DO NOT MOVE, no tremble.
<2lb like glass trigger..
Settle the crosshairs and just THINK about it and BOOM!!
Watch the round impact in the scope.
Kills like lightning.
Its really not fair.

I don’t think it could get any more dealt than the 115gr BT. Max thorax explosion plus pass thru. 1/2” groups. What more coulda a boy want.

Just get that 300PRC and be done with it. 😂. Yeah, I’m browsing gunbroker. I like the 25-06 idea. Bidding on a Sako now. The biggest deer I killed this year might have weighed 150 pounds. lol.
