8400 Montana or FN M70 Featherweight? - 05/26/16
SO,
I've owned an 8400 Montana for the past 4 years or so. 300 Win Mag, shoots great with a variety of handholds. The last two months or so though, I've had the itch for a featherweight. It would be current production (FN), and would also be chambered for the .300 Win Mag. I love the cartridge. Rifle would stay original except for a bedding job, and a new Timney trigger to replace the factory MOA unit. Topped with a Bushnell elite 6500 2.5-16.
I can only really afford this though If I sell another rifle I own already. Of everything I have, I'm least attached to the 8400 and it has the least sentimental value. I do own another synthetic stocked rifle for extra bad weather so that base will remain covered.
So, If you could only have one...What say you?
