Remington makes many different versions of the 700. If you are going to compare comparable features you should probably compare the Kimber to the 700 mountain rifle.

I've not yet personally seen the 84L yet, but own an 84M. There is no comparison as to quality. The Kimbers are much better built, but Remington is not bad at all and would likely make an excellent rifle as well. I think it just comes down to how much money you want to spend and how much the Kimber features are worth to you.

I much prefer the Kimber's safety and CRF. The stock shape is much more pleasing to my eye plus it will be significantly lighter than even the Remington mountain rifle. More than 2 lbs lighter than a standard Remington CDL.
