.340 weatherby is a awesome long range rifle. A buddy in Lindrith NM uses one on a regular basis for elk at extreme ranges as he says he hates to track or chase a wounded animal..........:o)

He uses a Apache style finger hole phenolic stock from McBros and it has a muzzle brake as well.

Great rifle . I watch him use that rig for everything from long range coyotes to Bull Elk and Mulies up there !

Good Choice. His is a weatherby by the way.

Stay safe !

I still enjoy bragging a little about qualifying "expert" with the M1 carbine in the Fightin' Chemical Corps in 1951. I wish I could remember the range distance. All I remember is "ten rounds, ball ammunition, lock and load". But I was only one of three out of about 30 who made the expert cut.

In training on the pop-up range, where troops in pits would hold up silhouette targets and were supposed to drop them when they took a hit, I knew I was not getting credit for my hits, so I started popping splinters off the crosstie rims of the pits. That worked pretty good (maybe I wouldn't do that now).
