I bought one used here last year and love it. Haven't killed much with it yet, 1 deer and 1 big hog, but I love toting it. I'm 6'3" and the stock feels great to me, but I have no neck. I'm not crazy about the 2.5-8. I have one on a classic 243 that I gave my wife. On the Montana I put a 3.5-10 and like it alot better. With the stock being so straight, I need medium leupold rings for it to feel right, so there's plenty of room for the 40mm objective and it's not that much heavier. I settled on the 130 TTSX in front of a max load of CFE223. If I do my part, it will do a little better than 3/4" and the chrono reads 3175!
