Dear Mr Eliot Marhefka,
   It has come to our attention that you are one of the unfortunate people influenced by the hype of the 25-06. As you know, it’s beginnings are not humble, rather a contest between 5 drunk rednecks to see who could burn out a barrel quickest.
   As a descendant of the original designer of the round, (Sorry, he was drunk at the time), my company feels obligated to rebarrel all 25-06’s to something more useful and easier on barrels. Below you will find a list of free calibers that will outperform and outshoot the 25-06. 
   As you know, most hits with this caliber are accidents, so a free check of all scope mount and stock screws are included. Due to the amount of metal removed from the throats of barrels by the 25-06, shipping to us will be much less than the return shipping.
                                                               Sincerely, Clinton Tooseventy Isbest
