[QUOTE="ofbandg, post: 2406163, member: 91402"] I would go with the .338 Win Mag. Most ammo retailers in the north carry it and it covers almost all the bases. If recoil is a problem use a muzzle brake. I have one on my Browning .338 and it tames it down nicely while putting a 225 grain bullet out there a long way. Six hundred yards is a long way in the mountains and the breezes are shifty. The longest shot I ever took at a sheep was around 350 yards. For what it's worth, yes you are spending a lot of money, but if you are going with the idea that the hunt will be a failure if you don't bring back a sheep, you may be losing more than you gain. You are taking your wife along, treat this as the wonderful lifetime experience it can be and think of the sheep as a nice bonus if it happens. Take lots of pictures. [/QUOTE]
