Realistically, your deciding on whether your money is worth a stock upgrade and a threaded barrel. Action, barrel and trigger are all the same and of very good quality.
I like the Montana stock, but hate the threaded muzzle protector. I like the detachable magazine.
So my choice was simple and I save several hundred bucks.....

I took the 7-08 out looking for a cow elk to thump this morning... mostly just saw the insides of a lotta low clouds.
