You really cant decide? Have you actually had both in your hands next to each other? There is no comparison! That is like comparing a Pinto to Cadillac. The Kimber has a MUCH smoother action and is well worth the extra money. When you buy the Kimber ask to see all of them so you can pick the best wood, it will be a beautiful rifle, there is absolutely no comparison in looks, function, and fit and finish. The Remington is nice but not even in the same league! My next gun is going to be the Kimber 84 Classic Select Grade chambered in a 280AI. I looked at one the other day, it was really hard to leave the shop without it.
