Get the best optics you can afford. If you are young get even better ones as you have a long life ahead of you. I bought Monarchs because they are not bad, I'm cheap, and over 60. I like the spotting scope because it has saved me many hours and kms of walking, but mine is fixed 48 power and small.
Two packs out means 3 days packing - one out, one in (after a hearty meal) and one out again.
If you plan on being successful, learn to properly cape an animal and I mean totally fleshed out and salted - no extra bone, meat, skin, cartilage, or water. Packing a pound of salt in can save you many pounds packed out.
Oh, the best thing you can bring to lighten your pack is a knowledgable sheep hunter.
Good luck and hoe you are successful.
