I'm a practical cheapskate. Tikka all day long. There's nothing it won't do that the Kimber won't at 2/3 the cost.
I use Craftsman instead of Snapon.
Buick instead of Mercedes or BMW.
Costco coffee instead of some foo foo bean freshly groud.
On and on. Have you ever owned a Kimber? No but I don't see at all how it can be 2 or 3 times better since it cost 2-3 times more than my Tikka. Am I not qualified to answer? You're so money. And you don't even know it.
Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!

Since you can buy 2 Tikka for every 1 Kimber, makes it dead heat Kimber by a nose at the wire

But whenever I look on gunbroker average retail for a Montana is roughly $1050-$1150 (yes you can find better deals at times) while average retail on a stainless Tikka T3 seems to be $650 to $750....so not exactly 2 for 1 unless my math is fuzzy.

This schit is ALWAYS fhuqking funny. The ONLY thing Tikka "brings" to the table,is an entry fee that grants Turd Polishers opportunity and that is it. In dozens and dozens of Montuckys,I've yet to see a "bad one". Have seen 'em assembled incorrectly and with fastener woes(namely front base screw burrowed into barrel shanks),puked scopes and broken mounts,but that is hardly a Manufacturer's "fault". Getta kick out of the Serial Number Scare too! Pardon my having them all. Would LOVE to see specimens that "didn't shoot",just for the hilarity associated with rubbing a Dumbfhuqks nose in their Stupidity. Rifles are exceptionally simplistic mechanical devices and it is plum fhuqking amazing,how many folks can reliably fhuqk one up! All of these "difficulties" are fhuqking hilarious. Joe Average sure as fhuqk ain't very bright and it's tough to top the humor of a bunch of Clueless Fhuqks racing each other,to relate stories of their gross ineptitude and how that is somehow deemed a badge of "honor". FUNNY schit! Then people wonder aloud,how Obama got to drive for two terms...as they obliviously corroborate the inherent "sweet satisfactions" of Dumbfhuqktitude?!? You "hard charging" Dumbfhuqkers are a hoot! Wow.................... (Addendum: for yet another perpetually Whining Kchunt) Taco, You Drooling CLUELESS Dumbfhuqk,your Imagination and it's Pretend are again taking you places that simply do not exist. It is funnier than fhuqk,that you copiously frost your Stupidity with the fact that you are forced in weighing your "abilities","means" and comprehension"...which is of course,THE most slippery of slopes. Congratulations?!? 1,000,000 MPAJ Laughing WordsBone stock over the counter Montucky,fed false shouldered positive headspace a 162 smooch and mad treeger skeelz,ala 6x. Closer look,for you Whining Clueless Kchunts...just so you know what sub .5MOA looks like at 700yds+. Hint. ![[Linked Image]](http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1280x1024q90/540/n3EcSO.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1280x1024q90/743/9ac0VK.jpg) GREAT time for you to dangle pics of the Splendid Beasties that have met their demise,via your Tikka "prowess" and I ASSURE you,that it will be funnier than fhuqk. 'Nother hint. Laughing! You Brokedick Turd Polishing Do Nothing Dumbfhuqks are a hoot and ESPECIALLY when you are doing your best! Looking forward to your next Whine,as you flaunt your Imagination and Pretend,yet again. Do not let the cat get your tongue,nor the couch your kchunt. Just sayin'. Laughing!..................... Stick, what is your preferred caliber in the Montana?

I agree. They aren't even in the same league. But, for whatever reason, anytime a Montana is brought up, somebody always makes the recommendation to just buy a Tikka. Now, I have both and have hunted extensively with the Tikka, and I do like them, but I sure can't see any reason to consider the Tikka an alternative to the Kimber.
My guess is that most guys that would recommend the Tikka as an alternative have not ever handled, owned or even shot one. But hey it's the fire, and when given a choice between a Kimber and a Tikka, we get several votes for the Ruger American Rifle.
Go figure...
Agreed. Frankly, there is not a single rifle on the market that is comparable to the Kimber Travis Travis a lot of hand holders tell me some guy named Echols is the best.

Jim Let me know who that guy is. I will go buy a couple of Tikkas and trade him for some Kimbers. Heck, I'll even throw in some factory Tikka scope rings.

Pardon my ignorance. If Kimber is such a wonderful machine, why we don't see them pimped out among the snipershide crowd? Those guys are rather anal about their equipment. A whole sub forum is dedicated to the T3 and aftermarket modifications.

I think of the Kimber as more a hunting rifle and the T3 as more of a shooting rifle.
But that's just subjective as I don't like mags and plastic.
And the small port would annoy the hell outta me as well.
Can you load a T3 from the top down?
I would take a MOA Montana over a .5MOA T3 any day of the week.
That said I know of a couple guys who hunt/shoot way more game than me and they love their chitty Tikkas.....grin

A whole sub forum is dedicated to the T3 and aftermarket modifications. I'm guessing it is because most of the snipers hide crowd is mostly dedicated to long range shooting and "sniping". The Kimber Montana is designed to be a very lightweight, specifically contoured hunting rifle. That's almost the opposite of that for which one looks for long range shooting, either competition or hunting. That's my guess. I could be wrong. If you don't believe I could be wrong, just ask the Alaskan Homunculus.

The same reason you don't see if you can fit a cord of wood in a Corvette. The Montana is a sports car of a rifle. It's a fly weight rifle used for spot and stalk hunting usually deep trekking into the woods or mountains. It's too light weight to make it a ideal long distant gun. That's not to say the Montana can't take those long distance poke shots. I am rather good with mine out to 300 yards which is usually twice as far as my normal hunting shots. Pardon my ignorance.
