Any gun that you can carry up the mountain and shoot straight with works.....the 270 class, 270wsm, 7-08, 7wsm, 300's, etc, etc....they all work great..
You dont need to shoot 5-600 yards at sheep...and in fact it would be stupid to think you do. You need to get close enough to sheep to judge if they are legal or not. In your case, as a beginner, learning to judge sheep is more important than shooting at them from long range.
Any gun that can shoot accuratly and carry up a mountain and put through some elements will work great for sheep. For me, its my 7-08 LVSF in a McMillan stock with a 3.5-10x40 Leupy in Talley Lightweights....
