[QUOTE="ofbandg, post: 2054039, member: 91402"] When I hunt in the north country I use my .375 H&H or .338 Win Mag. It doesn't matter if I am hunting Stone sheep or moose. Both of those rifles have loads that will shoot accurately out to 500 yards and beyond, and still knock down a grizzly up close and personal. The Bighorns I hunt don't hang out in grizzly country so any flat shooting rifle that will handle a 140 - 160 grain bullet is fine. As for sheep being easy to kill, I wouldn't bet any money on that. I have seen big rams soak up hard hits and still get up and run. They are certainly no easier to kill than a big mule deer, and if they are running away from you it's best to have something that will penetrate the full length of them to finish the job. [/QUOTE]
