25-06 works on an oryx. Shot this beast at 280 yards after a long day of hiking and chasing. This was on a part of the missile range where the oryx population is not that good, so was real happy to find this one yesterday afternoon.

38 1/2 on left, 37 on right. Not the biggest, but not the smallest either.

This would be by far the coolest hunt to do in NM.
