A Proper Sheep Rifle

[Southern Elk]

Question, can my new Featherweight 30-06 be considered a proper sheep rifle?

i would think so, but I'm probably biased, have always liked those rifles.

Absolutely not. You need a .340 creed wildcat super magnum with a wood folding stock and a 65mm bell scope. Barrel can’t be fluted and you need about a 1 lb trigger. Total weight should be around 6 lbs. Anything less and you’re risking it.

That one there won’t do. You might as well sell it to me so you’re not tempted to use it.

Maybe owning a proper sheep rifle will pull me a tag next year?

I like you.

How are you doing on your Mauser and Springfield hankering?

Beautiful rifle, that is certain.

I've long owned a poor man's sheep rifle, a Remington BDL in .270 Win. It has not helped me draw a ram tag however. It has been very useful for everything else, I've hunted.

If you were to draw a ram tag that might have fallen into my hands... I can't wish you good luck, maybe a small amount, maybe.

I love it. I wish a .44 mag lever action was legal for weapons restricted areas in Montana, it would be perfect for river bottom whitetails.

It’s not?

It’s not?

Shotgun, archery, muzzleloader, or handgun only. You’re good with a .44 revolver, but not a rifle.

Oh I was under the impression it was straight wall.
