    What caliber for 700 yard rifle?

    Long story short I won a once in a lifetime mid Asian ibex hunt in Tajikistan at sheep show this year. Two of the best mountain bow hunters in the world have told me don’t take a bow because of the terrain and the way they hunt there, so i guess I’m taking a rifle. I haven’t killed anything with a rifle in almost 20 years. Don’t really even own one worth taking. I know everyone has a rifle option so let’s hear them. Your making a 700 yard hunting rifle what you taking? Here is what I’m hunting.

          I’d say 28 Nosler or if you want to stay a little more main stream 300 Win Mag.

            No help on the rifle, but blind with jealousy for the adventure you have coming up. Good luck with the build.

                    I'd say if you haven't shot a rifle in 20 years you need to get closer than 700yds unless you are already and accomplished long range marksman. 300 winmag is what I'd choose.

                          I can’t tell how big those critters are. I’d say 257 Weatherby Mag or .300WM like others have said.

                              If you handload 7 STW. If not, 28 Nosler.
