Ultralight 284 sheep rifle

[mountainman56]

Completed this last summer for my best friend who's going on a high altitude sheep hunt next year. Pierce titanium short action (15 oz), MPI carbon fiber stock, 20" carbon 6 barrel chambered in 284 Win, Bix & Andy trigger, Talley lightweight rings and a Swarovski Z3 3.5-10. The complete rifle, scope included, comes in a 5.75 lbs. It's like carrying a kids toy around and quite surprisingly, is nicely balanced, very easy to shoot and will put 140 grain NAB's in the same hole.

What kind of MAX COAL were you working with in that set up?

Very impressive. Under 6lbs scoped. The 140s will make it a pleasant shooter even at that weight. Any idea what velocities he's getting that accuracy at ? At first thought, the 140s seemed light depending on the range the shots will be made. Then rethinking it, sheep typically are hunted at high elevations offering better ballistics. Even at 3000 fps, the 140s will be hammers for any hooved 4 legged hoover animal.
