You are looking for a rare gun. Only 100 of them made along with other express rifles in median bore. It will be expensive.

I have one in 270 with the original box and paper work. It was new when I purchased it. I broke it in with 10 rounds of hornady and put it away. never had a scope on it. It’s not an 06 but I figured I’d throw it out there. Good luck.

Actually they made 500 of them in 30-06.

Ok. I read some where that 100 each. I may be wrong. Last one I seen was in $1600 pre pandemic.

The rifles you are referring to are Ruger Express rifles, they came in calibers from 25-05 through .338 Win Mag. The last one I bought was a .300 Win Mag. I paid about $1250 for it about one year ago. They typically run $1500 to $2000 when you can find them. The cheapest one I have ever seen was $1000 and it was badly beat up. They only made them for 5 or 6 years or so. The 25.06 is the most rare. Very similar to the RSM, with higher end wood, sights and finish, but in smaller calibers.

I was told there were six made in 25-06. I've communicated with the guy who has 4 of them. He won't sell.

I own them in 270, 7mm rem mag, 30-06, 300 WM, and 338 win mag. I've only hunted with one of my 30-06 in Africa and one of my 300 wm deer and a trip to Africa. I thought they were great shooters, until I put a scope on the 338... that thing is fantastic! Took it to Canada for moose (secondary to the mountain goat I took) but never shot an animal with it..... yet

What do you rate this gun as 0 to 100%

 

[Peter Radekevich]

I’d rate that in the “it should be mine” category
