Re: Kimber 84m vs Rem 700
I would probably go with the Montana if I was going to keep it stock. A lot of people say that Kimber has hit and mis quality control with a mis on customer service but I have always had good luck and would take my chances. Clean lines and very light weight.
The pros for the remington are the availability of after market parts and gunsmithing services. It would be a better foundation for modification. Of course control feed vs. push and 3 position safety are in the eye of the beholder.

I own 3 Kimbers, an 84M in 260, a 84L in 280AI and a classic 22lr. For a pure hunting tool you can't do any better without spending more money. Light, svelte, smooth and the stock is one of the best designed for recoil in a light rifle. My one issue with customer service was great. They took care of the problem in less than 7 days and they paid for shipping in both directions.

Montana is the synthetic stainless version.
Classic is the wood/blued version.

Re: Kimber 84m vs Rem 700
I've had some issues with my Kimber Montana in .308 (failure to feed from one side of the magazine, and light strikes on primers). Kimber has had it back once. They fixed the feeding, but the primer still light strikes some ammo. Even with this problem, its still a keeper for the combination of weight and accuracy.
