[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 1884956, member: 61747"] man, nice rifle options. I'd want light and compact for sure. Personally I'd do a short action either magnum or non. I really enjoy the 6.5 prc and would go that route or a Sherman. The short fat cases seem to react ok to short barrels. I'd have zero issue running 18-20" in a prc with a 135-144. My folding chassis rifle with 7" can weighs 10lbs and my 6.5 creed is 8, it runs a 135 at 2720 with 20", and its a fine option for sheep. My 22" prc runs that same bullet at 3080-3100. I'd expect 3000 with 18. Just food for thought and jealous of the hunt. [/QUOTE]
