There's a lot of people that have never owned a Montana that are going to tell you, you're lucky.

At 6 lbs all up, this thing will be a joy to tote.
Anyone killed game with the Scenars? No, Scenar's are match bullets and pencil right through everything from coyotes to bears.

Wow.
I'm amazed at what passes for acceptable accuracy here. I was happy for the first range session with no tweaking of loads or rifle. 1" 5-shot groups will kill to 500 easily if I do my part. .67" for 5 shots with NABs at 2850 fps is pretty damn good in my book out of this lightweight. As far as 155 Scenars, I answered my own question here: Scenars

Love it! Mine shoots like a target rifle with 45-grains of Varget and 168-NBT.
Good Shooting!

But it ain't bad, and I'm not done yet.

So, as I understand it, you won't be sending this one down the road any time soon?
Could be you found a new favorite!
I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.

yessir. I can't imagine parting with this one. It shows promise. And losing more than a pound off my back when hiking the hills sounds very attractive.

155 Scenars in a 308 Montana are a badass combo....
