A Proper Sheep Rifle

Never hunted sheep and probably never will but I’ve always thought a Tikka in 6.5PRC with 127LRXs at Mach Jesus sounds right to me.
 
Here's a friend of mine many years ago with his Montana bighorn ram that he killed with his Ruger 1B in 6mm Remington. One shot at about 150 yards. His ram did make B&C 181 2/8". Tried to find a picture of him with the rifle and the ram but no luck.

Here is me loaded up and headed out with a good share of the ram. We took it all in one trip.

Up here in the north we don’t shoot light rifles or light bullets.
Maybe overkill to some but a 110 grain bullet will not do it.
Mountains are bare and the wind is wicked.
But again it is always personal.
I did use on most of my hunts a 7 RUM.
180 grain.
calling snowy... where's snowy?!
