A question for those who have handled/used both rifles.
Last year I picked up a used Kimber Montana custom chambered in 280 Remington (not AI) with a 24 inch Lilja heavier contour barrel. It's been a very nice rig.
I have a chance to buy a basically new (40 rounds at the range) Mountain Ascent in 270. Asking price in Canadian dollars is $2800.
If I sold my 280 I'd probably be looking at an additional $700 - $1000 to make the move to the Mountain Ascent.
I know the primary benefits are slightly lighter weight, removable muzzle break, dipped camo stock, fluted barrel/bolt, etc.
Worth it to move up to the MA or stick with the "tried and true" Montana?
