I'd avoid the Montana like a rat dipped in aids.
That is unless you knve the dirty dope on a gunsmith who you can get to work cheap or you are retired and have multiple hours to spend trimming screws, bedding, crowning...blah blah blah...
Dang. Are you overly meticulous or just meticulously slow?
It's obvious that you are overly biased, probably more from what you've read online than from what you've actually experienced in real life.
I tried twice.
Light yes. But, unable to compete out of the box with rifles I already owned that costs hundreds less.
I'd rather spend the money on a classic Steyr like the one I just bought than a iffy kimber that may need bedding, trigger work, recrown, screw trimming, bolt face work, chicken blood rum, sage...
Just ordered one like this i. 7mm-08 with 3-9 leupold. It'll go perfect with my 308 half stock classic.
