For my area which mostly consists of small game like rabbits/foxes/cats it's a cannon! I do have the opportunity from time to time to also shoot some medium game like goats and this 25/06 is really suited to this task. Here is a post I did with my savage 25-06 which I sold for the Tikka: http://www.ausvarmint.com/forum/viewtop ... =1&t=13722

I currently run 90gr SBK with ADI2209 and Nosler cases for my predator/varmint/general purpose load.

I run 117gr Hornady SST with ADI2209 and Nosler cases for everything else.

Soo far accuracy with factory ammo was okay but nothing to write about. The 90gr SBk are consistent 0.5-0.7 performers....while I haven't sorted out a good load for the 117gr yet. They seem to like being seated pretty deep in the case compared to the 90gr SBK. So far they average around the 1-1.2'' mark but if I can get them consistently under 1'' I will be happy.

The Tikka itself is a solid platform. I put a HSS bolt knob, bolt shroud and rail on the T3 and they are great. Tikka's are the best value rifle going around imo.
