Great pics MJK. How do you like that Sako?? What calibre?
Also a big difference in the moose pic vs muskox pic just for terrain. Is it quite the ordeal to track the muskox and get close enough in wide open tundra like that??

I just picked up the Sako and other than sighting it in, this was the first time I used it. It's a .243 and I really like the feel and shoots really straight. I also have a Tikka 30-06 and a Savage 22-250. Both the Sako and Tikka and much nicer guns than the savage I have however the 30-06 is overkill for most of the stuff I am hunting inland.
Muskox can be tricky to approach and when the herd hears/sees you coming they take off pretty quick. I had to position myself with the sun in back of me so they had a hard time to see me coming. Shot that guy at about 225 yards.
