I use a lead sled with 25 pounds of shot. Reduces the recoil on both of my rifles to 30-06 levels and I'm fine there. As you mentioned recoil isn't much of a factor in the field, unless your prone with a .340 WB. You've made a great choice, live in the best state in the union for sportsmen, and you've obviously mastered a specialist's caliber.
My answer to your question, is no, I don't think your elk rifle can be beat. However, its a knife fight for the number two spot...
