I bought a Montana in 270, which my claimed instantly claimed as soon as she first picked it up. She has taken that rifle on a tundra caribou hunt in the wet snow and rain and carried it in our Sask November whitetail season. She LOVES it. The texture of the stock is very 'grippy' in the wet and cold. It's a joy to carry she says.
I have a 257R and love the cal. I was debating buying the same rifle you mentioned on the EE but it was hard to justify knowing my wife likely claim that one as well! Hahahaha
