Would like a 25 Remington. That would be a fun gun.

I did once shoot a ~2.5" group at 100 yards with the 35 Remington I have. They will shoot, plenty good. Just takes some practice.
My 81 in .300 Sav. seems to kick way more than my much lighter Savage 99 .300. Both with steel butt plates. I like shooting the Rem. 81 and hearing and feeling all that clanging around when the barrel flies back and the action goes into..well..action. But maybe it's all that banging around that makes it feel harder kicking. None the less, it's an experience to shoot.
