25-06. I’ve got a really good one a friend built for me and I’ve been killing stuff with a quarter bore for a couple of decades now. It’s not the new hotness, but it has worked really well for me. A close second would be a 308. Boringly effective.

Works great on deer hogs antelope prairie dogs steel, etc.
