I looked at the Kimber 8400 Caprivi. It's about the same price as the remington with some extras.
Kimber was about 3000, the remington about 2400, and the model 70 about 1200.
Kimber only had the wood stock though.

worst case is I have my sako 375 for moose in 2008.

by the way, go can get real close to a croc if you have some chicken, the older and more stinky the better.
