I have owned quite a few. Both 8400 in the WSMs, and 84L and 84M.
All were accurate. One in 270WSM maybe wasn't, but I never shot it enough to really find out, so maybe it would have come around.
The 84M and 84L are both a dream to carry and they handle beautifully. To me, they handle better than the Montana.
(warning: make sure the 30-06 or 270 is an 84L. There are still some 8400 versions floating around, and they are not nearly as nice.)
They are the lightest factory wood stocked rifle available, and the stock is very nice, with nice fine 20LPI cut checkering and steel bottom metal and grip cap.
The action is scaled to exactly fit the range of cartridges (minimized) which is why the weight is so low. The adjustable trigger is as good as it gets from the factory too.
Handle one, and then handle the competition. You'll be sold.
I would buy the 30-06 Huntz has in the classifieds. In fact, I just might.
