Ridge-, I shot one for some twenty years taking caribou (because of brownies in the area and we saw them every day) and some ten or eleven bull elk from near to almost five hundred yards. The 340 is a great cartridge.
Though I used the 210-grain TSX mostly, it is a veritable hammer if you "can hold it right"
Mine was right at 8.5 lbs scoped and IMHO, you don't need it heavier and shouldn't unless you just generally like hauling a fence post around..
