Tikkas are cheaper and shoot as well or better.

There is no comparison between the feel of a Tikka and a Montana.
A few Tikkas have passed through my hands. Never really bothered to shoot one.
Unfortunately I agree with this. I have had 5-6 Tikkas, a 595, 695 and several T3s. Calibers from .223 to .300 win mag to include a 6.5 swede, two .270s and even had a T3 surgically altered to a 280AI that shot lights out. I want to like them but for some reason always send them down the road. Model 70s are my favorite which makes the lightweight Montana a no brainer. After reading all the spotty reviews spanning several years I finally rolled the dice with the 84L and now wish I had done it sooner.
I still recommend the T3 to anyone who is interested and will probably own another.
