Thor's 340 Weatherby=2 NM Oryx & Elk=0

Thor · 03-05-2012, 06:37 PM

The first time I shot it to sight it in, I fired it 34 times off a bench, WOW. It does not have a brake either. It twisted my upper body so much that I had muscles in my lower back and shoulder hurt the next day. Actually in the field, I never felt it, and you fire one at a time if you do your job right. The problem with the Oryx was I so afraid I would shoot right through a bull into a bull behind it, I waited until this solo female turned sideways and yep, it went right through it. The rifle is a Mark V Weatherby synthetic.
