Finally got everything back from the smith to put my new toy together. Still needs to be bedded but at least she's good enough to pose. 340 Wby. I figure to warm her up with some 225 XLC's I have on hand and expect to end up runnin' 210's or 225 TTSX's depending on what she likes. Remington Long Magnum Action squared and lapped #4 Rock Barrel 1:9.4 twist cut at 25" Micky classic 50/25/25 black, dark grey, light grey Talley Lightweights Leupold VXIII 3.5x10x40 ![[Linked Image]](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/mtnman1/340%20wby/SANY0107.jpg)

I like it!
Looks like a sound blueprint, always thought the .340 was cool.
Now with even more aplomb

That is a VERY nice rifle. A couple questions...What is the muzzle diameter, what does it weigh, and where is the balance point? Thanks.
Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!

Haven't weighed it, but the muzzle diameter is right at .64 and she seems to balance right between the front screw and the recoil lug

I can like that. Have toyed with the 340 Roy idea, in fact it might just be my next build. Or another 223AI.......grin

Thanks for all the great comments. Can't wait to get her out to the range and see how she does. Hope to get everything bedded by the weekend, but don't know if I'll have time to get to the range with it.
