Have a buddies Montana 300 WM sitting in bedding right now. Be curious to see how the different torque amounts effect yours. This is the first Montana I've went through and didn't find any mag binding, or the front Talley screw bottoming out. Only thing I found that I didn't like was the barrel sat a tad off center. A little relief in the stock and some centering tape at the forend will hopefully take care of that.

That's a great looking bedding job. I'll be following your thread to see how it works out for you. A 308 Montana sure is tempting to me!
