5. The 24B and 20B cost more than a Kimber, a true NULA is much more.

I'm a Kimber fan, but you'll see a bunch of Kimber Montana's for sale once the Forbes rifles are readily available in all stainless.


Really?

Apples and oranges. Only common denominator is light weight.
You need to look at the action type. Kimber is a pre64 Winchester derivative downsized) and the NULA/Forbes is a Remington clone (downsized).

Controlled feed/three position wing type safety versus pushfeed lever safety. Fit and feel is very individual to each person. (Lots of people like Sako Finnlights, but they really don't do a lot for me. I feel I'd have to restock to like them better. As they are already very expensive, add another $600 for a McMillan, by then it's not really all that much more to a NULA!)Just because Forbes comes out does not necessarily mean a dump of Montanas and a rush to Forbes.If it does, maybe there will be a some cheap Montanas!

BTW, I thought the NULAS were full length bedded which may explain their consistency?
