Either way both of the 270 WSM's were purchased when they were first introduced. I've only owned one Montana in 270 WSM, it shot great out of the box. Better with a little Accraglass and trigger adjustment.. Since then, it's been a 7 WSM, and now a 6.5 WSM. That's the thing I really like about Montanas. They are a platform worth building on. If you're gonna build a rifle, you may as well start with an action and stock that are worth building it around. In other words, start at the start. I just made that up.

Here's a peek inside the nether regions of one of the BEST 308 spouts I've ever had and I'm disheartened to say I've had a schit load. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v136/BigStick/Stuff/Rifle%20Stuff/IMG_0575.jpg) Just saying................ Nice krown job. Is that the inverted 11 degree target krown?  That is the troll/'tard version. He's like Barsness, he don't need no stinkin' crown neither. There isn't much funnier on the Fire than you guessing about "crowns". Please do tell us again how your "Kimber didn't have a crown." That's some funny cchit. By the way, on the dumbphuck index you're running neck and neck with JeffO and his being stumped trying to open a Nosler box. Also please tell us again about how you were a "sniper". Thanks!

Looking forward to shooting mine in a few weeks or so when I get home. A 270 bought here via two owners that indicated it shot very well. I expect no surprises.

My Montucky 257 Bob was so unacceptable I had it retubed to 243AI.

All the good ones were apparently sent to SE Alaska�
I'm just getting a charge out of seeing "Kimber" and "quality" used in the same sentence�.

Maybe they only work within Alaska's narrow barometric pressure range.

While only a sample size of one, I picked up a 308 second hand a little over a year ago and have enjoyed it. The first owner apparently was not happy with it. I replaced the Weaver style windage adjustable base and rings with Talleys, remounted the scope, and checked the receiver screws with a torque wrench. Did nothing else to it, and did no load development. Just picked up the ammo I use in all of my other 308's, and it runs nicely. 200 yards: ![[Linked Image]](http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k55/jeffbird2/308Montana_zpsea954fb2.jpg)

Happy for you. I truly am. And I understand the QC has improved in the last couple years. I haven't dealt with their guns for five years, so I hope so.

Hint.... I get to HEAR all sorts of stuff,that differs from what I SEE. Damned few folks could begin to critique a rifle. As mentioned,I can only comment on a few dozen Montuckys and the shopping spree certainly has not waned. Hint..................

Though I do enjoy The Show.............

Never wanted one. I seen a couple guys at the range struggling to get their Montanas to shoot. At least one was a Roberts.

I must be one "lucky" SOB.........
.260 Montana arrived, I mounted a 6x Leupold on it and went to work. Thus far it has shot well with everything I've tried. I finally "settled" on the TTSX.
.223 Montana arrived. I mounted a 3-9 Leupold with turrets.......same story.
My only problem now is that I'm debating grabbing 'smoker's barrel in the Classifieds just to play with a .308 Montana. It's a tough life.

Maybe these guys could get some pointers from this (at the time) twelve year old kid: ![[Linked Image]](http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d160/lilredhouse/CopyofDSCN0910.jpg)
