Hello sheep hunters. I was perusing youtube and came across the below video of this absolute tank of a bighorn ram. I'm not a sheep hunter but I am curious on what he would score or if he is just average big ram.
Picking up a seekins ph2 in 6.5 PRC and looking for scope suggestions criteria below. Will be hunting 500 and in.
SFP highly preferred but if FFP illumination is a must
Reliability
30mm tube
Exposed elevation knobs for dialing
Zero stop and zero reset
MOA
Weight consideration not important
Not...
How is the Seekins PH2 as a general purpose hunting rifle the stock looks like it's setup for long range just curious how it does as an all purpose setup.
I'm actually in the same boat. But you can't go wrong with a Tikka Lite SS I would peruse gunbroker or eurooptic not sure how FFL works in hawaii. 6.5CM, 270win, or 7mm-08 would suit you well. And with the Tikka I would throw on a limbsaver and maybe a pistol grip. Tikka's generall shoot well...
So after doing more research instead of my blanket requirements I would definitely want zero reset, zero lock, and uncapped turrets at no more than 500 give or take a few extra bucks but no more than 600

Nothing fancy this is my first hunting setup. Just need something reliable, holds zero, and won't break the bank. Athlon Argos HMR, GPO Passion 3x, Meopta Optika5, Bushnell Engage, and Leupold Freedom and VX-3HD are on my list. Realistically I want to stay below 500.
