Guest Ritzer Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 i was thinking about getting a new gun and i think im going to get a .25-06. i was wondering what the recoil ws like on this round? i have a .270 right now so is it similar to around that range of recoil? i was going to get it in the remington 700 in the heavy barrel so i think that would reduce recoil to wouldnt it? thanks.

dogdoc Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Re: .25-06 recoil? what recoil I went from a .30-06 or a .25-06 and there is a noticable difference. I can shoot an entire box out of the ..25-06 and have no shoulder pain. After a couple shots with the .30-06 I can start to feel a little pain in the shoulder. A great shooting caliber--with a heck of a punch and very little recoil. todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimT Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Re: .25-06 recoil? It is definatly less than a .270. You will like the 25-06 for sure...i like mine alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnf Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Re: .25-06 recoil? It's a little more than a 30-30. I've got one and notice it a little when I'm at the range. I have never felt any discomfort, even after shooting several boxes of shells. I've never noticed recoil when in the woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranchand99 Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Re: .25-06 recoil? Way less than a 270.I shot my friends Savage 25-06,recoil was so weak I didn't close my eyes,and actually saw the fire coming out the barrel,while I was looking through the scope.It didn't kick hardly at all.You'll be please.Oh,that was a wood stocked gun,I'm not sure how it would be in a synthetic.

AJ Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Re: .25-06 recoil? As a varmint gun, the .25-06 has a lot of recoil. Compared to the various .22 and .24 caliber guns, it kicks a lot. Compared to other deer cartridges that are based on the .30-06, its a pussycat. Another cartridge with similar performance and even less recoil is the .257 Roberts.

Guest cowpoke Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Re: .25-06 recoil? I have a 25-06 in a Rem 700 ADL synthetic with a sporter barrel and it doesn't kick bad at all. If you go with a heavy barrel I would think would be real easy on the shoulder. It isn't much different than my 243 in the same style of rifle.

iron buck Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Re: .25-06 recoil? The 25-06 is a fantastic, light recoiling deer round with LOTS of reach.........and punch. My daughter used my Ruger No1 single shot last year to take this nice doe . At the time she was 13 & she had no fears what so ever about shooting the rifle. I had her use it at the range for over 100 rounds before we went out hunting. She never developed any hint of a flinch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJJ Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Re: .25-06 recoil? 25-06 has very little. I shoot my buddy's and don't feel a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
