I like them both. I have, and have had, newer and older 70's and 700's. My favorite rifle right now is a 6-7 year old 270WSM in a stainless Classic Model 70. It has the old style extractor, a short action, and a habit of putting them all -3/4". It's probably has the slickest, sweetest little action i've ever used and i'm basically a Remington fan at heart.
I don't see how you could go wrong with either brand but as some mentioned above, those Kimber people put out a hell'a fine rifle for the money!
