I plan on using my 338 Lapua I had built to hunt elk with,which is about the same thing as a 340 Weatherby, yes you have a great choice on cartridge choice.my rifle with scope weighs 9 1/2 lbs. but it shoots very well and I don`t care about that extra pound I am bigger and taller than most people and as far as recoil a heavier rifle recoils less .
So your 9-1/2 pound 338 lapoooa kicks less than my 6 pound 6.5 koolaidmoor? It's gotta be that Bunx barrel.
