[adk hunter]

Components/ Ammo is available, and if you have/ get to build a gun, might as well get something bigger than you already have.

210 Siroccos are available??

210 Siroccos are available??

Those are a tad scarce at the moment, but they should be producing them yet this fall I think. Maybe not till 2023, but they make sciroccos more often than A Frames. Ive got all of them on back order currenlty. I havent received any 338-210 sciroccos in a while.

Maybe in their 6.5rpm, but there's not a reason on earth to bring a 338 sheep hunting.

257 BEE

^^^This^^^ In the Backcountry TI. At 5.7 pounds in the 257 running a 110 Accubond at 3500fps or a 92 grain Hammer at 3900fps, it could be sheep rifle perfection if 600 yards is the limit.

Just for sheep—I'm sure a 6.5 is perfect—I hunt Aoudad every year and I use a 338 Norma most of the time—like the way it bucks the wind. I have been on a couple of North American sheep and international sheep and goat hunts—always pays to have a little extra when you are far from home—and have paid tens of thousands of dollars—I think it is more important that you know how to use what you got than the caliber…anyway good hunting!
