Comparing an American to a Montana is apples to oranges....and I'm a fan of both.
Bench accuracy out of the box goes to the American. Refinement goes to the Montana. Hunting accuracy is a toss-up. For those inclined, twist goes to the American.
Although I'm an American fan, no way I ever see it being my primary hunting rifle. I guess it's pride of ownership?
There are lots of good rifles currently on the market.
