how much kick does a 25-06 have

Not bad, I would compare it to a 30-30, maybe just a little harder.

I'd say mesarich's answer is accurate.

A 30-30 has next to nothing

The 25-06 does not kick bad at all, but a few things to keep in mind is the weight of your rifle and the weight of the bullet you plan to shoot both effect felt recoil. I shoot a 25-06 alot, my rifle is a Mark V Ultra Lightweight it weights 5.75 lbs before the optics were mounted, and the recoil is not bad at all. Its a great round to hunt with and shoot. If you hand load the bullet/powder combos are endless. It makes a great predator and deer rifle.

very manageable recoil. good gun to shoot. and it will handle mule deer very nicely, with 100 gr bullets.

I have a Tika T-3 25/06. It kicks like a .22 on steroids. Its a good deer gun.
