Here, Here! I appreciate all of your comments, candour and experience in the discussion of long-range shots. As I have never been sheep hunting (yet) I can add nothing of real substance to the immediate discussion but the issues and challenges of long-range shots overlaps hunting of all species. It is proper that we recognize the tremendous amount of variables that may negatively affect such shots. I note, with some irony, that many of you with vast shooting experience and knowledge of external ballistics tend to be more cautious than those who spend an hour per year at the range.
I purchased a Sako Finnlight 75 in 280 Remington for the day I finally get drawn for sheep. Regards, Mike
