Go to Kimber.com and look at their Model 84M or Montana rifle. She's a light weight and she's a beaut. And from what i've read and heard she can shoot.

I have checked out the CDL model 7 and it is definitely a sweet gun. What is the difference in the mountain rifle and the model 7 besides the stocks and finishes?

A few of the Savage models would make a very nice deer rifle. They have both synthetic models and wood stocks.
I like the first one:

IF you are going to buy a Rem glass bed it, get trigger down and free float it then save your money and buy a Browning A-bolt in the 1st place, The micro versions are very nice if you want a short light gun without a pencil thin barrel.
I think Tikka's are the ugliest guns on the market(Just My Op.) but everyone here loves them and talks how accurate they are.
I wouldnt take a new Rem if you gave one to me. The older one's are great but the new ones (again just my expericence with them) just suck. The model 7's are pretty though.

Yeah my 2 new (97, 03)700's really suck...they will both group an inch or under just about any time. In fact they will group better on average than my 3 older 700's (78,83,89) Sounds like junk to me... That $10 trigger job really put me in the poor house. To be honest I am about fed up with hearing the bs about the new Remingtons being junk. I have 2 of them and have sighted in at least 10 more and I havent found one that wasnt a pretty darned good shooter right out of the box yet. In fact a couple of them (7-08's) were very nearly one hole guns without even a trigger job. You can have the 710's but the 700's are just as good a shooter as they ever were. 25 years of shooting and owning and hunting with 700's and I currently own 5 (243, 270, 7-08, and 2 30-06's) of them and have yet to ever experience any trouble of any kind.

I'd get a Tikka T3 or a Browning A-Bolt if it was me. I've owned almost every make/model of bolt guns and those are my 2 favorites. Both have no problems out of the box shooting under MOA when topped with quality optics and handloads (I haven't bought a box of factory ammo in 12 years or longer).
