I have a dozen extremes and a half dozen jrs. I like them because the come ready to go out of the box, already dipped. There is not much tinkering with them. I have had my extremes for 2 years and have had to reset a pan or two once or twice. I have never had any montanas, or any traps with the monty dogless setup, however I am sure once I used them a bit they would work just fine. I just prefer the dogless setup on the ko traps, or the jakes. I don't mind spending the money on a quality product, and I also don't have to worry about theft of any kind, and if I did I would probably run dogless bridgers and figure out how to make them work. The main thing is to find what you like and are comfortable with and go enjoy some quality outdoors time. Happy trapping.

The pan on the Extreme and Bridger is almost the exact same. The Bridger sets on the jaw, while the Extreme and Jake set on a small tab welded in place for it. No difference in the mechanics.
