I am in no way sold on the remington.It was the only other gun in the gun store that was comparable to the montana in regards to a full size light weight gun.they wanted 1044 for the montana and 999 for the remington.If anyone knows of another 5 1/2 to 6 lb. gun in this price range please let me know.also thinking about going with the conquest 3.5x10x44.
