I have no experience with the Hunter, but I do love my Montanas. One in 7-08, the other in 257 Roberts. Both older, without threaded barrels. I've heard good things about the Hunter. It has the detachable magezine while the Montanas have the stiffer stock. Whichever appeals to you more is the one you should jump on.

My heart's in the mountains, my heart is not here.
