It's a fantastic little rifle. I'm gonna bed it and absolutely paint it. Can't have it looking like every other montana after all.

Tomorrow is the pickup day. Might be the best wind bucking lwt alpine rifle with the 143. Time will tell. Hope to get a can for it to make it a better experience for the wife to shoot.

You get it in your mitts yet? One of these is so tempting. Any reason you didn't go with the Hunter?

If they hadn't thrown in 2 boxes of brass, I'd have been tempted to go with the factory stuff. I hear good things about it.
