Dream sheep gun

[BAKPAKR]

That's awesome. Is that an Idaho ram? I put in again this year.... and again.... I find myself envious of those that did.

Yep, Idaho.

I had initially said my 300 RUM....and that caliber is a beast but so is it's weight at 12 lb. Thought I was going to die on this past year's elk hunt...lugging that thing , a lot different than the 2lb recurve I had carried the years before...

And on that note ..
I have decided on the 264 win mag with a mcmillan edge fill stock barrel is a #3 fluted benchmark..
Pieces are either at the smith or enroute via UPS to my smith..

DX---you're beginning to get on the right track there......12 lb elk rifles no thanks for this old wuss

Pretty cool how popular the great 'ol 264 WM has become after all these years. It is a great round !!!!!

Now that is a sheep rifle! 6 1/2 lbs with a 50mm obj is amazing. Throw some nice ceracote camo on it and it would be perfect

@joelbiltz has one in 6.5 PRC and used it with great success last year IIRC.

Yep. I love it. I actually own a 6.5 PRC Glacier/TI as well as a 300 Win Glacier/Steel. They are outstanding rifles.

My Rifles Inc. 7mm stw, Swarovski 3.5 - 10 x 42mm, sling and 3 handloaded 150gr. Total weight 6.25 lbs.

 

[dogz]

Wow Thunder that means that gun is easily sub 5 lbs naked....zeesh

 

[thunder12345+]

Dogz, Yes you are correct, I just looked up the specs. Lex builds a accurate rifle. Its right at 4.8 lbs, 3 shot groups with reloader 25 at .05" or less at 3327 fps. Once I received it, was only rifle I ever used for everything. Now it sits in the safe. Thinking of possibly selling it.
