Remington 700 action though? Woulda been better if it was a savage.  ;)
Why the 6.5x47 though? And at 183 that would've only been what, a half inch high which it's a .5-.75 MOA gun so that woulda been just a flyer high? I coulda been sighted at 183 and still played with that scope though. The PST is on my dream build set up.

Much more into sniping then primitive archery my few years in the army
May my presence go unnoticed, may my shot be true, may the blood trail be short. Amen.

I was trying to find a pictograph photo of a bighorn
I could post and welcome you to a long line of folks
that had there sights set as you did yours.

Bighorn sheep petroglyphs at Inscription Canyon, California

I have been here and other places the sheep are cameoed
on the canyon walls. I bet there are some in the Breaks too.

Rem 700, it's actually the action from my fiance's first hunting rifle he got when he was 12, so it technically has a lot more critters to its name than just my sheep.

Yeah, it was completely unnecessary to dial that scope down, but if you can, why not pick the flea on the hide of the critter you're aiming at? It's so interesting though, after chasing critters all season with a bow, when the rifle came out, I was cool as cucumber. None of the jitters or nerves I had last year when I only rifle hunted. It felt like a gimme, just rock solid- I wonder has anyone else experienced that difference? I may start a thread in Shooting and Hunting to ask how their rifle experiences have changed once they've started bowhunting.

I wouldn't compare myself to a cucumber but I will say looking down the arrow at a doe is the same or better adrenaline rush as through the scope at a nice 10 pt. A does through a scope is much less intense.

Andrea,

Congratulations on the ewe, you done good.......really good!  Did you spend as much time prettying up your new bow as you did detailing the rifle? ;)
