I have a good shooting 84M Montana in 7-08. There is not another mass produced rifle on the planet I would trade it for. Not one.
Is it worth the money? For me it is, but I didn't really ~spend~ a dime on mine. I had the infamous coffee can savings account going and in the 3 years it took me to decide on the cartridge I had the $1200 price saved up. :p
For a young guy starting out I'd say buy two Kimbers: one nice weather classic and one bad weather montana. Choose both in all around cartridges and make one in 84M and the other in 84L. Top them with good glass and then never spend another dime on rifles. Ever.
Will
