[QUOTE="littlebighorn, post: 1885096, member: 112108"] I've been fortunate to have gone on 5 sheep hunts of my own and I found that my ideal sheep rifle needed to be south of 8lbs, fully loaded. Since all but one hunt was in griz country I started with a lightweight 300WSM. Then I realized that all my guides were packing big bear guns, which made me think that a smaller caliber would be great. I also obsessed about having to shoot long distances but the longest shot I took was 360 yards, and the other three sheep were shot at 110, 120, and 240 yards. So my last sheep hunt I took a sweet shooting 6.5 CM and it did the job nicely. There's plenty of great advice here. I'd just add that every sheep hunt is an adventure! Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
