Goodness, your kidding right?[8D] Get the montana, not only light but will shoot very good too.

There is realy no comparison of these two. I just looked at the 8400 Montana last weekend. I've had Ruger, Remingtom, Winchester & Interarms, but the Kimber is better. THe fit and finish was excellent & much better than a Titanium. I predict that Remingtom drops the Titanium line within a couple of years. If you are absolutely sold on the Titanium, I hear that you can get one on Gunbroker.com for $749.

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.

I'm not the expert, but my co-worker who is says I need to look at a Kimber. He does gunsmithing and is very impressed with a Kimber he recently upgraded. Now he's saving for his own.

You can buy the Montana for less then the Remington. It's not really a fair comparism as far as quality. If the Montana was twice the price its still a better deal.

Have you looked at the Weatherby Mark-V Ultra-Lite? Weatherby chambers the ultra-lite in weatherby & standard calibers. I think they start with the 243 and go all the way up to the 300-Weatherby?

I've been looking at the Kimbers too. I am thinking about a 270 wsm and was leaning toward a browning A-Bolt II Stainless Stalker, but i have heard nothing but good stuff about the Kimbers. I'm not sure that i like the blind magazine though! I already have three A-Bolt's an i really like them alot. I was just thinking of maybe getting something different. I have also looked at the sako. I am leaning toward stainless though for sure!
