MarineHawk: That would be an exceptional Elk Rifle in my parts (western Montana) - more and more Grizzlies are roaming the areas I Hunt Elk in. That 340 Weatherby would also come in handy in that regard. BUT... ignoring that cartridges recoil is NOT possible - especially for me. I have shot a 340 Weatherby (and a 460 Weatherby!) and ignorance of the recoil was NOT possible in either instance. Best of luck to you if you are getting after the Elk with that Rifle! By the way dandy Moose there! Good for you. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy
