[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1602498, member: 85987"] 300SS load a 181 hammer for treking and whatever floats your boat for your sheep. You don't need a long barrel for most sheep shots so you can get by with a #2 and 9/16 28 for a side discharge brake. I use electronic muffs hunting and love them. I track in the snow mostly. The muffs let me hear the dear get up out of sight when before the muffs I would bump that buck out making for a much longer tracking job. If you like the 338 better I'd look at a lighter hammer up front either the 213 hunter or 225 sledge hammer. followed by the 250 berger for sheep. I would also look at the V tac sling for front carry. Have 2 and they make for fast handling from carry to on target. I'd lastly practice this drill. Blindfold yourself have a partner confirm your clear and hand you the rifle with the safety on or off for dry fire. Have him yell go fire or whatever to start the clock. Learn to be able to get your safety off even under duress. I use to practice this for sporting clays because I lost a regional shoot due to a safety being on and I tried to bend that trigger before I figured it out dropping both targets. Lost by 1 bird. Alot less important then when a ****ed off bear wants to tear you butt up because he can. [/QUOTE]
