I'm generally a Kimber rifle fan, and have had good luck with Montanas over the years. I bought a Classic Select online in 6.5 CM that had a nice looking stock, however when I got it I could barely close the bolt on an empty chamber. It felt the same with the chamber loaded, so I scoped it up and went through box of ammo on it. It shot well, but the bolt closing bugged me. I just sent it in to Kimber CS so we'll see how that goes. They were nice enough on the phone.
Kimber moved rifle production to Troy, AL not too long ago. The unofficial message I got from multiple sources was that some of the first rifles out of Troy had teething issues. Mine was built in Troy.
If it were me, I'd go for it. Buying it somewhere in person so you can check it out first may save you time and trouble though.
