[QUOTE="gillettehunter, post: 2768182, member: 25760"] Been to Kyrg twice and killed an Ibex. I'd say to take the SAUM or Blaser. Quite frankly ammo won't be available there for anything to speak of. The CM will work, but it's on the light side for some of the possibilities. I wouldn't take 2 rifles due to the hassels. Not sure it's even allowed. Nor would I take 2 in the same case. A spare scope and tools to mount it is a good idea. I'd suggest talking to your outfitter. My experiences have been a lot of time on a horse/pony and not a lot of time walking so the weight of the Blaser won't matter. Accuracy will matter. Use a bullet that you have confidence in. I'd suggest that you have confidence out to at least 400 yds with whatever you take. 500 is even better. Remember you'll be hunting at a much higher elevation. Maybe over 13,000 feet so be sure you know how that will affect your drops. Get some airtags or the equivalent and put in each bag so you can track where they are at. On one hunt my rifle stayed an extra day in Turkey. Cost me a hunting day waiting for it. If you want to chat feel free to DM me for my phone # Bruce [/QUOTE]
