[QUOTE="Kodiak Special, post: 2736001, member: 100597"] I was out on sheep last season and we came upon some rams at 950 yards. Looked at them through the 50x spotting scope for some time. My guide let me know there was a hunter earlier that was taking shots at that distance. I took my eyes off the 50x scope and couldn't believe it. Way to far. I think 800 is a mission on flat ground, would recommend getting closer and spending budget on good glass. If it were a different caliber, I'd be thinking 6.5, but then your bullet is getting really light. I'd go heavier, or keep the 300wm if your confident in that one. [/QUOTE]
