[QUOTE="Weatherby Fan, post: 1812521, member: 29953"] First off you need to ask yourself what do you want to do with this rifle ? and what finished weight do I want when scoped ? Is it an ultralight backpacking rifle ? is it an everyday hunting rig for road hunting as well as walking ? Do you want to do a lot of long range shooting as well as hunting ? If you want one of the best for the money ultralight factory rifles then go with the Kimber Montana, if you buy one do yourself a favour and have it glass bedded, the trigger adjusted and ensure the magazine box isn't rubbing with pressure on the action. Ive owned 20 or so of these rifles, some factory mostly custom builds and they are a bargain for what you get. Or this is what I would do is pick up and used Kimber Montana 84L and a #2 Benchmark or Bartlein barrel and have a 280AI built for yourself, all the parts are in a Montana for a build aside from a match grade barrel, all stainless CRF action, excellent adjustable trigger, a Kevlar Carbon fibre stock which is easy to alter ie-palm swell, cheek piece, high comb If weight isn't a concern the Bergara Highlander is a dandy rifle but I don't think its chambered in 280AI, I don't see it on there website unless its changed, Ive owned a couple Bergara Rifles and both shot very well with factory ammo. Cant comment on the CA rifles as Ive never owned or shot one. Good luck WF [/QUOTE]
