Well Adam..my go to 25-06 is a Kimber Sporter in a French Walnut stock weighs 8 1/2 lbs with the same power scope and a bipod...and it will consistantly ring a prairie dogs gong at 350 yds..farther if I weeble and wobble altogether at the same time LOL..I also shoot 87 gr Sierra BTs for the little critters.. I use 100 or 115 gr Noslers for the bigger stuff. I would seriously use it for elk with the 115 gr Nosler Partition or even a 100 Gr Barnes. I have tried the 75 gr bullets..and while very accurate they re affected by the wind too much at longer distances...over 250 yds or so..but we do have a little wind out here..at times. The 100s are more reliable at the really long ranges. For some odd reason the Kimber will not shoot really well with the 120 gr bullets..but will with the 117 HPBT?? Haven't got that one figured out yet..twist and speed I guess
