Montana is stainless with synthetic stock, can be either 84M (short action) or 8400 (long, magnum and short magnum actions).

84M Classic is walnut/blued short action.

84M Classic Stainless is walnut/stainless short action.

The Kimber website lists the Montana as a model in the 8400 category. It also lists the Classic Stainless as an 8400.

What I'm getting at is why do people recommend the "Montana" versus the "8400"? I think the website must be wrong. The individual specs show the Classic Stainless 8400 (walnut stock) weighs 6 lbs 10 ounces and the Montana 8400 lists as 6 pounds 9 ounces in 270 WSM. However, at the introductory page it reads "Model 8400 WSM Montana models weigh just over 6 pounds, and walnut-stocked models weigh only 8 ounces more."

Which is correct?
