I got to say the recoil surprised me or lack of , I let my brother shoot it also and we both came to the conclusion its softer on the shoulder than his 30-06 and 270 .
I think largely because of the Mcmillan stock has more heft to it than a injection molded stock . Rifle has to weigh 9lbs maybe 10lb because of the scope . I fired 20 rds in one range session both off handed and from the bench . Its hilarious watching someone shoot it because the 340 has this huge concussive blast but the gun barely moves backwards .
I wasnt able to take it deer hunting because it took optics planet 23 days to mail my scope rail then a few more for it to get here . However I can try it on hogs and maybe some coyotes .
