I've never owned a Finnlight, but I handled many at my local shop. I've owned several Montana's. I chose the Montana because of barrel length and the blind mag. The Finnlights (243 and 7-08) that have tempted me both had shorter barrels (20" vs 22" on the Montana).

I'd almost make a bet that the Finnlights would shoot better out of the box. If they had 2" more barrel length, I'd probably already own one.....and I may still in the future.


I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!
