StoonAucoin,

What you probably handled was the M/84 Montana which is designed for calibers up to the 308, and is smaller than the soon to be released M/8400 Montana which is designed for the WSM calibers. The M/8400 Montana is about one pound heavyer then the M/84 Montana.

Headache

i'm in the market for a rifle chambered in the 300 wsm. for the first time, i handled a kimber montana at a gun store the other day and it seemed like a well made rifle. have any of you shoot this rifle before? it seems maybe too light for the 300wsm. opinions anyone? thanks!

I have 4 kimbers and the next rifle I buy will probably be another one. I really like them. Check out some of the posts in Medium bore rifles for more discussions......DJ

yes, actually it was chambered in 308. in general, how do kimbers stack up as for as accuracy, reliability ect. thanks again!
