Here is the build thread for this particular gun on Rokslide.
The gun was in its 6.5 CM configuration, shooting G9 Defense 113 Long Range Hunter ammuntion for the Bighorn, though now it is a 6 CM.
All of my Dall Sheep have been with a Barrett Fieldcraft in 6.5 CM and Barnes 127 LRX, with the...
Thank you.
2 trips down there. One in September with a couple friends. This was mostly nice weather and really enjoyable. Did not see a single ram though. It felt more like a scouting trip with lots of miles and great fishing.. though I took a stupid Tenkara rod that kept breaking. Wont make...
Most definitely. I was a little shocked when I walked up to the Bighorn, wondering what I had gotten myself into. I’ve taken 6 Dall Sheep, from 9-12 years old and none were as big as this guy. The Dall from this season was pretty good sized though, as pictured.
Honestly I was looking for...
I thought I might share my ram with the group.

Longtime Rokslide member from Alaska here. Just thought I’d join in the conversation as this thread may be relevant to hunt plans in the future.
For you guys that have hunted the Unlimited’s, as well as other areas, for sheep.. where do you fall on the range of footwear? Do you optimize for long distances on moderate terrain or for steep country and lots of support?
Ie. Lighter weight, flexible sole boots
Vs. full mountaineering boots...
