I shot 2 elk with my 340. It is a Weatherby MarkV action in a McMilllan custom stock. It is also a left handed rifle. The rifle shoots well. My buddy has shot several elk with his 340. He killed a bull in AZ two years ago that scored over 400. It is a monster bull, but it took him ten years to draw the tag.

I doubt if I ever get to use mine on elk again. I am a handicapped person now, and climbing around the mountains is a thing of the past.

I have been saving my money up to buy a motor home. I would be able to travel croos country if I can put that together, and I might be able to swing it in another year or two.

I know a great place in CO where I can do some long distance elk hunting. I might get to go back there some day. If so then I will probably build a 338 Lapua in a target style, long distance rifle. I doubt if I ever use the 340 Wby. again. Tom.
