Rifle opinion

[krshunter]

This is a little bit outside the norm here but I wanted to throw it out anyway due to the knowledge base. I have three options available to me and would like thoughts, facts, opinions based on the following:

Assume no custom work will be performed in the future, rifle to be used for hunting purposes only, optics not included, no shots on game past 500 yards will be taken and I'm stuck on these rifles. I am not looking for other recommendations to look at.

CZ 550 Ultimate Hunting Rifle in .300 Win Mag at $1500

Kimber America 8400 Montana in .300 WSM at $900

CZ Model 3 in .300 WSM at $900

My understanding is that the CZ Model 3 was only produced for a couple of years and is actually a Montana Rifle barreled action.

The 550 is blued and the other two models are stainless. Both CZ's are walnut stocks and the Kimber is Kevlar.

Throw me what you know or which direction you would go.

Thanks

I own a Kimber 8400 Montana in 325 WSM. Even with a mercury recoil reducer in the forearm (8 oz.) it is plenty light. Three rapid shot groups are around 1 moa but three individual, cold barrel shots are half that. Dollar for dollar I don't think you can go wrong with it. I also own CZ's and they are accurate and I love the single set trigger. They are a bit heavier. For beating the bush I'd go with a stainless/synthetic rifle every time.
