[QUOTE="CCAguns, post: 3068403, member: 15399"] Over fifty years ago, Elmer Keith & company developed the 334OKH. Elmer later stated that, with very minor changes, it was similar to the 340 Weatherby. Elmer also said it was the finest long range big game cartridge ever. Forward 50 years, the manufacturers & publicists tout the 338 Lapua - just another version of the 340 Weatherby and Elmer’s 334OKH. My stainless synthetic Rem 700 in 340 Wby sports a 25” Douglas Premium barrel for ease of hunting use and has been used all over the US, especially Alaska. It shoots 250gr NPs into 2-3/8” at 300 yards. Needless to say, I’d carry it anywhere. However, unless the OP plans to hunt in the vicinity of big bears, a 26” barreled rifle in 7mm Rem Mag would fulfill his stated needs very well without the extra costs and recoil of the larger cartridges.
