[QUOTE="fta0303, post: 3068360, member: 43503"] Don't overlook the 340 Weatherby. There is high quality factory ammo, and reloading components and dies. Pick a Mark V with a 26" or better barrel and a muzzle break. Accuracy will be a concern: 1 moa is about 10" at 1000 yards, and it's much harder to mantain at 1000 than at 100. A good scope is needed. If you aren't carrying it, I suppose you aren't still hunting, so a 3 or 4 power low end on the scope is likely OK. I like Swarovski. The 340 Wby has been sitting around for years without much attention. It's equivalent to a 338 Lapua. It's recoil is a little bigger than the 300 Weatherby (or 300 WinMag in a lighter rifle). It's way more than a 338 WinMag. Get enough eye relief. [/QUOTE]
