[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 2355494, member: 66917"] The Kimber Adirondack meets your weight needs, 4lbs 13 ounces. I'd get it in 6.5 CM. Sheep are normally shot at closer ranges like 0-400 yards so a 6.5 CM would be way more than enough and you'd get the great inherent accuracy and mild recoil that has made that cartridge so popular. With a scope like a VX-3HD 3.5-10X40 CDS-ZL ILLUM. FIREDOT TWILIGHT HUNTER 14.5 ounces, it would put you at 5lbs 11.5 ounces before rings and bases. I'd use the Talley 1-piece rings and bases. I think for an ultra light rifle for sheep a 6.5 PRC is not necessary. You can kill Eland with a 6.5 PRC, I know, I've done it. Do you plan on doing a lot of sheep hunting? I've heard tags are hard to draw and where tags are not involved the price to play is pretty high. [/QUOTE]
