I agree with the crowd that suggests buying an 84M versus an Ascent. The Montana is a better rifle.
I own a 280AI and a 257 Bob. Either will do but I've been eyeing a 308 as my next Montana.
I think the argument of not finding ammo is BS. Loosing ammo hardly ever happens and if it does, I'm sure the guide would have a back-up rifle. Plus, if you loose your ammo, you also probably lost all of your clothing.
