Awesome your dad got that for you! I really like my 308 montana! So much so I am thinking about buying one for my dad! Enjoy the rifle and great shooting!
I keep getting temptation thrown at me at my LgS. They have a Montana in270wsm. That they just can't sell around here and as of my last visit the price is down to 850.
The government plans these shootings by targeting kids from kindergarten that the government thinks they can control with drugs until the appropriate time--DerbyDude

The 155 scenar makes a lot of rifles look good in a hurry. Load development is usually a breeze too. I love them. I think a competent shooter/reloader would be hard pressed to find a rifle that didn't shoot a 1" 3 shot group at 100 with those bullets.
Walked into my local shop before Christmas and they handed me a brand new Kimber Montana. Told me my dad had it shipped there as a gift. Paid in full.
My dad is very, very old and foolishly chose the .308 chambering. Since it was the thought that counts I forgave him and accepted the gift anyway.
First range session yielded 1.5" groups @ 100yds and about 3" groups at 200yds. This was with 44.5gr's of RL 15 and the 155gr. Scenar.
After that first session I gave it the full shortactionsmoker treatment. The mag box was not binding but I grinded on it a bit anyway. Front action screw was too long by a smidge. Hogged the barrel channel out a bit more and bedded the recoil lug and about 1/2" worth of the shank.
Skipped calling and took it back out to the range yesterday as I am saving all my fuel to see Ben and his family next weekend. And by all accounts, that is going to consume a LOT of fuel.
Loaded development done.
1" groups @ 100yds and 1.5" groups @ 200yds. Easily.
With the 6X42 and LR reticle, every target from 50-500yds was in serious danger. Broke the 100 round mark yesterday and I am LOVIN' IT. I wish somebody gave me one a long time ago.
Nothing further.

"Load development" is a part of my history.
Good stuff should shoot good, otherwise the rifle needs help.
IMO.
