[QUOTE="ol mike, post: 225116, member: 4683"] I've read the stock design is great on the montana -the recoil sopposedly isn't felt nearly as much as you'd think. Have you shot one of them Petenz ? or do your friends feel that way about the recoil ? I just read today on 24hr campfire -a guy bought a 338 federal =308 necked up to 338 -lots of BIG problems -the firing pin wasn't set up right and did not hit the primer hard enough to fire consistantly. And the chamber was rough as a cobb -with stuff like this happening enough to nearly keep threads going about kimbers -i have to say they must feel powerful good -must put a guy under a spell or something. If rem/chesters etc. were coming down the pike like this -NOBODY- would buy one. Did your buddies tinker w/ their rifles or have to send them back ? I have had to tinker w/every remington i've ever owned and only had one that couldn't be tuned up enough to suit me w/ the factory barrel. I have no problem rebedding a kimber and polishing a crown -but big stuff like the faulty firing pin/rough chamber would tick me off. Thanks for your time -Mike Forgot to say -i thought about building a lightweight but i'd have way more in it than the montana and probably no lighter. [/QUOTE]
