[QUOTE="Kalashnikov, post: 339161, member: 5730"] I hunted free range Aoudad this past fall and took a beauty 31" ram. We certainly hiked a fair bit, so having a 'handy' rifle was a consideration. I used a 300 Win Mag A-bolt with a Leupie 3-9x40 (guides rifle) to make a reasonable 350 yard cross canyon shot. The terrain they live in provides good cover for stalking, but it also offers great opportunites for extreme long shots if that is what you wanted. However, mirage is a major factor in that country, and the higher magnification scopes can pose serious problems during typical hunting hours. At 6x, no problem, but I found 10x (my binos) to be almost unusable. As such, the 3.5-10 is more than ample, and probably a better overall scope for that hunt, especially if your ballistic reticle/subtension calculation is calibrated to the scope's highest magnification. Here are some teasers: [IMG]http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f394/depopulator/Hunting%202009/PA180166.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f394/depopulator/Hunting%202009/PA180161.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
