I have a 585 Hubel Express on a Montana PH action. It is a very early action based on the serial number. The action internals are pretty rough, my gunsmith smoothed it out a bit when he crowned the barrel. It was a bit sticky at first too but with some use and a little oil it has become quite smooth. I have no doubts about its strength. Newer Montanas look to be a little more refined than mine was.

The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.
