I had an 8400 Montana in .270. I liked it but I sold it. Got a grand for it. It was a good shooter and I liked it but the stock was too bulky for my hands. Never really fit right in my hands.
I bought an 84L Hunter in .270. I like it. I paid 675 for it, NIB on GunBroker. Its trimmer and lighter and works great.
Would I like the same shape stock in a stiffer configuration? Sure. Would I pay 1000 more for it? NFW. YmmV.
