New Christensen Mesa vs Kimber Montana

[dakotakidd]

Sold a couple guns and looking into a light weight gun for hunting trips out west. I have always liked the Kimber Montana but now the new Christensen arms mesa looks interesting for around the same price. I think I can get a Montana for around $1200 and I've seen the mesa should retail for 1200ish. Any thoughts on this? Looking at both in 7mm-08, both 22" barrels, mesa comes with a break, montana comes threaded. Montana looks to be just over 5lbs and the mesa around 6.5lbs but doesn't specify if that is the weight of a long action or short. Stock wise it appears to be similar materials but I think the Montana has aluminum pillars, not sure about the mesa. Both guarantee sub moa.
What do you guys think?

Had a Montana in 25-06 that I really liked. Only sold it to find a new gun dog.

Was that before the sub moa guarantee? How did it shoot, I've heard a lot of mixed feeling with the montanas but it could be people struggling to shoot a super lightweight rifle.
