I’ve been thinking about this thread. If you like pure versatility then the .300 is very hard to beat. If you like a ridiculous point & shoot smallbore get a .257 or .270.
I went out & shot my 340 today. If you are looking for something that is incredibly accurate, punishing on both ends and able to inspire some awe - get a 340.
I hate that I love that rifle. Fibermark MkV. Its an honest rifle that asks a lot from the marksman but if you desire to poke holes in animals far, far away this or the .338 Lapua (almost indistinguishable) is your huckleberry. The 340 is best used in the field - not off a bench IMO - it’s got a stiff response to your best efforts but not terrible.
