My first custom 340wby came in at 6.5lbs. Brown stock, Rem 700 action, Lilja #2 barrel. The Smith did his own radial muzzle brake. All loaded up with scope it came in just under 8lbs. It was the perfect backpack hunting rifle.

I sure am jealous of you. Ive wanted one of those for some time now. If I can offer some muzzle brake advice. Get a great brake. I prefer a side baffled brake but some prefer the full radius ones with holes all around . Depends on how much you shoot prone? Side baffled wont blow dirt in your...

Another vote for Rl19 you have. I run it in all my 340wby's. Not the same but pretty close. For the 225< gr barnes My load is 90gr RL19 but its a hot load. I know its not a temp stable power but I dont see much difference between summer and winter shooting.

I would love to take this off your hands. Absolutely beautiful. Free bump at least

Sloverado, yes I was asking you. Sorry about that.

What state are you in?

I would contact Salmon River Solutions, they make the Ti brake. They can fix you up

Thank you Waveslayer! And yeah I'd take any details you have. 7lbs is pretty light for that firebreather. Absolutely beautiful rifle.

WaveMaker, That second rifle with the manners EH5 thumbhole stock is my dream rifle. What did yours end up weighing? Could you list your build parts? I am so tempted to try and build one.

I had one of the Sako m995 Warbirds and (stupidly) got rid of it. I think I'd like to build one this time. Where would you guys start? I have Weatherby accumark in 340wby I could use if it would fit..

Awesome story and so cool you got to bring your daughter. Great parenting there. Id love to do this hunt one day

You might check with XLR industries. I know they inlet for a bunch of actions. They have really nice chasis's.

Contact Unknown Munitions in Idaho and buy one of their self timing brakes. You just buy the matching thread and screw it on. Best brakes on the market.

I had one test positive a couple years ago. DOW asked for the meat so i gave it to them. They advised throwing away all knices and tools thay touched the deer. This was after i told them i quarted it with no contact with spinal fluids. I was bummed to toss my favorite knife. Just an fyi
