A Kimber montana has been tempting me for a light rifle, but it appears Colt light rifles are available for $750 and less.

If the Colt is anywhere close to a NULA in quality and weight/balance it seems like it would be a viable alternative?

Do they balance like a NULA?

Its a big game rifle so I dont need it to shoot like a NULA,but if weight and balance are the same, I'm tempted.

Dumb idea?
If so why?

I know the triggers are different, but is the Colt trigger serviceable?

Do the stock dimensions handle recoil as well as a NULA?

The biggest wild card may be the barrel. Any experiences?
