Thanks for the comments guys!

cddogfan1,
I love the 7-08 Ackley. I also run a standard 30-06. The 7-08 shoots flat and with low recoil. I get 2875fps with 49gr of H4350 and a 140 Accubonds out of the 20" Ron Smith tube and 3" groups @ 300 yards. Two of my friends run 22" Ted Gaillard 7-08 Ackleys and both get just a hair over 300fps with 140 Accubonds and 52 grains of H4350.

Thanks for the comments guys!

Last year I was getting dicouraged and on my sheep hunt I was so intense on "getting a ram" I forgot to have fun and enjoy myself. This year I told myself - just be relaxed, have fun & enjoy the mountains and if you are meant to get a ram it will happen......and it did!

Here is the knife that I made for my daughter, then borrowed for the hunt as well as a 140 Accubond on the far side of the hide after going through the spine. My first shot went through the ribs/lungs (exit can be seen in the photos) but after 11 years I was taking no chances and made a quick follow up shot that was ~4" higher than the first.

What you did is my dream, hunting sheep in the high mountains. Congratulations sir and to say I am a bit jealous is an understatment :D.
 
Man, did I read that right, in one of the post on page, you said "solo". That my friend is a feat in an of itself. Your the man, and that is a NICE Ram, the fact that you did it solo well thats just awesome.

Congrats, man that is really one helluva an accomplishment.

Well his gross green score is ~155 and change, but he's tops in my books - as you can tell from the grin on my face:D

Yup Solo, 2 weeks before I went the guy who was supposed to go with me had an accident and busted his collar bone:thumbdn:
 
Congrats on that one:thumbup: I'd love to give sheep hunting a try one day. At 120lbs, I gotta ask, what kinda pack were you using?

Go for it! The views are great and the hunting is tough, but rewarding.

A ~90 litre internal fame, L.L. Bean pack. Some stuff (like my tent) was lashed to the outside of the pack.
