[QUOTE="shphtr, post: 1408832, member: 6162"] Based on at least 2 sheep hunts a year for 30+ years from Alaska to Texas and Washington to Asia my parameters are an all up weight (rifle + scope + bases + rings + sling + full mag + 5 rounds on the stock) of 7 to 7.5 lb. - there are many ways to get there. I prefer blind mags, barrel 22” to 24”, ballistic turrets, max 9-10 power continental US 15-20 Asia. Of course build for max adverse weather conditions. After having a Night Force scope fog on me I now carry a second identical scope as backup (can move ballistic turret from scope #1 to scope #2 as needed). A second scope is much cheaper than returning to hunt the same animal again if base scope goes t**ts up - don’t ask me how I know. Good luck but be forewarned that sheep fever is incurable. [/QUOTE]
