Until August 2007, the closest experience I had with mountain hunting was 5-6 trips to the Scottish Highlands for Red stag stalking . Not true mountains but still physically demanding + medium/heavy game at 150-300 m range with no cover to use and get closer to the game. I used the 7x64 and .300 Win Mag on these trips and came to hold the latter in high esteem.






Then in August 2007, I got the opportunity to hunt for Chamois in the Tyrolian Alps. That was it, true mountain hunting and a difficult quarry. It was physically exhausting (a good thing I spent a few months working on my condition) and I was presented with one fast shot at a moving big buck. The .300 Win did a splendid job as expected and voilà :

3 shots do not make a group, they show a point of aim or impact.
5 shots are a group.
