Rifles | .340 Weatherby Magnum Bolt Action Rifle

.340 Weatherby Magnum Bolt Action Rifle
A heavy bolt action rifle made for taking down big game over long distances. It sports a classic look but is durable enough to sustain the heavy strain that .340 ammunition puts the rifle under.

While this is a matter of personal taste, I think this is really beautifuly designed rifle - based on RL counterpart from Weatherby. As for now, it is only rifle chambered for .340 Weatherby Magnum Cartridge - and this will probably stay this way. Cartridge itself can be considered as most powerful in the game. It has decent penetration capabilities, and quite big damage. Only rivals I see for it are .45-70 and .405, with both probably posess higher "damage" capabilities, but loose with penetration and external ballistics. And personally, I think penetration is most important in this game - as long as one is capable to double lung his/her target (or achieve any multi-vitals shot, really), it will most probably drop on place with the use of most permitted weapons (maybe with exception of a weakest allowed). And this cartridge is a king of penetration, not loosing to much of a "damage", compared to larger caliber cousines.

Internal magazine capacity of three is probably adequate for a cartridge of rather big dimmensions, and corresponds well to reality, I guess. It allows for relatively quick follow-up shots, for a bolt-action rifle, if needed.

For it's power, one need to pay a price of somewhat higher wobble - at least at low skill levels. So prone position is rather reccomended for longer shots, or alternatively, the use of Tripod Shooting Rest. I suppose, at higher skill levels, wobble starts to be quite acceptable for kneeling position shooting.

Exelent rifle for every permitted species. :)

Rated excellent. Can't find anything wrong with it. Sounds awesome. 3 rounds for dropping multiple animals. My go to for baited Black Bear. Dropped as many as six before they run off.

I am going to quote Revolver Ocelot on this one, looking at all the big game rifles ( a lil bit modified tho :P )

"This is the best rifle ever made. The .340 Weatherby Magnum Bolt Action Rifle. 3 Bullets . More then enough to kill anything that moves."

Beautiful rifle, nice animations and imo the best gun sound in the whole game.
Feels powerful, is powerful. Absolute top quality.
