My 300WSM 8400 Montana is probably my favorite big game rifle. I know some don't like the "belly" the 8400 has, but it seems less pronounced with the WSM.

What issue bothers you Brad? I know you have tried many Montanas in various calibres.



The 8400 stock handles the WSM's recoil about as well as any stock can, but I just don't like the way the stock "feels"... it's "chubby and clubby" all around. I dislike a no.1 barrel contour, especially on a rifle with the recoil of the 300 WSM, and would prefer a no.2 contour for more weight out front.
