On the short actions, the 3" mag box can be very beneficial if you load your own in a FC, NULA, or Wilson. You just can't get that with a Montana.

For Fieldcrafts, you've got a barrel twist that gives you a lot of freedom in bullet choices. Montana's (at least previously), not so much. NULA's were made as you wished. Wilson's are limited on twist.

I've had to correct a Montana firing pin issue that would have been very irksome in the field since I wasn't aware of it. Luckily it was on the range.

I've had to correct barreled action alignment in a Montana. Fieldcrafts have been perfectly full length bedded. NULA's were as well. I can't speak to Wilson's but I'm guessing they are individually bedded to the action.

I like and use Montana's, but the Fieldcraft and NULA's have some plus's you just can't get with a Montana.
On the flip side, Kimbers have some pluses not available for Fieldcraps and NULAs. Higher stock combs, more amibi friendly, lower scope mounts options, safeties that work the way they're supposed to (this is compared to ULA/NULA), lighter bolt throw. Also, Kimber customer service can be a little iffy, but they've been a consistent singular company for the last couple decades for parts and service. NULA (and the whole ULA Colt deal)/Barrett/Outkast, in comparison. Also, Outkast seems to use glossy paint on their stocks, which is certainly a choice.
