They do keep coming up with reasons to buy another one don't they?
If they chamber it in .260 I will start saving my money...again.

I just read the part about the brake.....I'll take the extra 5/13 oz.

Does the aluminum trigger guard fit on a Montana? ...or the bolt and handle for that matter. Inquiring minds want to know. Anybody at SHOT who can ask?

Uh Oh.....the game has really changed!  That is cool! I want one of them.....in 270 of course! The stock is like a bull dog puppy...ugly enough to make you wretch, but cute at the same time. A long action no less! Thank gawd....none of those vertically challenged dinky cartridges.   How much?

The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Would rather have a used M in anything and $700 plus in my pocket for a match tube and 50% down on the scope for it. And I am a weight slut..........
Buuuuuuuuuuut, all things marketing say more is better so I applaud them for going further with a great base product. Just the brake and the "Hoser" stock treatment are marketing wanna'bees doing fancy coffees and buying organic firewood........

The wave of the future, the wave of the future...
If any of you guys live to be 95, you�re going to get on the Campfire and see posts of guys in their 50�s proudly proclaiming how they scored a really nice classic old Tikka T3 or Remington SPS with a beautiful solid black stock and built sturdy �the way they useta be!�.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.

That would put the long action at about 5lbs 1 oz I think. Thats light!
JOC was right. The 270 Winchester on a Model 70 is a great combination as is the 30/06 and 375 H&H

It's got a gay stock but other than that I like it....
Hope it shoots as good as all the other Montana's.

270 or 308 is the pick here. Why no 7mm-08Rem? That would be the berries.

This is a shooting forum, there is no place here for logic.

Suck that! no way! deal breaker here, that's crap of the first order. The pattern or the use of hydro-dipping? I am considering hydro-dipping a stock (not in that pattern). Curious as to the durability. It's pretty durable on my bow.

Metro lookin' stock, threaded for a brake.
No thanks.
Might be a really great rifle but I would rather buy a regular Montana.

Fluted.. It's a wanna-be rifle. 
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...
