My sheep rifle...

Lone Peak Fusion Ti action
24" Proof Sendero Light

APR Bottom metal w/ Wyatts mag box
NF 2.5-10X42 w/ Aadmount covers
Warne Mountain Tech rings pictured have been switched out to NF Ultra-Lites.

Do you ever wish for more magnification. I like the size and less weight with the 2.5-10 but am looking hard at the 3-15 nxs or Swaro X5

I have the 2.5-10 NXS and a swaro x5 3-18...the NXS compact for me is good to 600 or so yards, after that I start wishing for more mag. So, it will depend on your ranges you’ll be shooting and hunting at.
 
not the lightest setup just at 9lbs with sling and 3 rounds but it puts them in one tiny hole. 143eld-x at 3050 is awesome in it.
just ordered a zeiss Z6 for it, love the nightforce but find myself wishing for more X

Well it is a new year and my head is already living in August 25 (sheep season here). Making some changes to my sheep rig and thought I would ask everyone else to show and shine their rigs. For fun add what you like/don't like about it and if you want how many rams it owns.

My new rig is a Tikka T3X SS in 6.5 CM with a nightforce SHV 3-10. Nightforce pic rail and ultralite rings. Will post pics soon. I like the tikka in general as a lightweight rig, The scope is quite top heavy though for balance in the hands. I wanted 100% reliability which is why I went the SHV route. It's basically the rifle that Rokslide built... Owns 0 rams at the moment. Hoping to change that this year.

My "everything but Coues" sheep rifle. Custom 7WSM on a Remington Model 7 action, lone wolf stock and Nikon Monarch 2.5-10. It has become my go to rifle. Accurate, sub 7lb scoped, enough energy for elk at 500, and built by yours truly!
 
Remington model 7, 7saum,
Wildcat stock, Timmney trigger, Gre-Tan Ultra light firing pin and bolt shroud and a skeletonized bolt handle. Done all the mod aside from fit and finishing the stock on my own. Glass is a Leupold VX3 2.5-8x with the B&C reticle. Shoots 150 ABLR into tiny little groups. 6.4 lbs with sling, and ammo.
