I compared the FC and a Montana side by side both in 6.5 Creed. The closed grip on the FC was not comfortable to me, I felt like the Kimber balances better. Both sweet guns, in the end I bought a Tikka SL. The Montana was stickered at $1300 and the FC $1800 at local gun shop.
To me, stock design is the biggest reason to choose one over the other. Pick the one that fits you best.
The 3" mag box and not having to follow a quick fix checklist favors the FC a bit, but nothing that can't be worked around for a Kimber.
