Looking between different options....

Remington XCII
Tikka T3 Lite
Sako A7
Browning X-Bolt


I have really been into the Tikka recently.... Anybody care to give a review of there rifles in the above or others I should consider. I already have a Remington(wood stock) looking synthetic now and a Kimber Montana on the way.... Looking for something different
 
I would seriously look at a new Winchester model 70 Extreme Weather SS. Cabelas in Regina had one in 7mm. Get them to ship it to your nearest store and go pick it up. Sick lookin rifle, and my new model 70 is a tack driver. Good weight too. But out of those 3 you listed I would take Tikka, Sako, Browning then Remington.
 
If you have a kimber on the way then all of your listed options will fall flat and disappoint in comparison. A fantastic carbon fibre stock instead of tupperware plastic, lightweight that is a dream to handle, and a phenomenal factory trigger. Aside from that I would go for the winchester next if I were you

Yeah I know, I just wanted something different in my arsenal. I may have to take a look at the Winchester as many have suggested

You wont be disappointed with a new Model 70. Im sold on em. The coyote lite, and extreme weather ss both have bell and carlson stocks, not cheap synthetic like remington, savage etc. But theyre ultimate shadow is a junky stock imo. Not to mention they have CRF (controlled round feed) for when you cannot afford a jam up in a sticky situation.

Personally I lean towards the exact opposite line of thinking. I would rather have my gun cabinet filled with different chamberings all in the exact same gun. That way no matter what I pull out of the safe to use that day I will be completely comfortable with it. Same stock design/fit, same handling, same trigger.

I like having different rifles though. I am most comfortable with Remington 700's, but I feel I would be comfortable with any well made, accurate rifle with a good stock.
 
I just picked up a tikka T3 SS walnut stock w/Burris 3X9 scope from Wholesale source for sports for $999. In 7m Rem Mag and I am very happy with it.

This.. I agree with the weight as well...
 
Sako 85.
If weather resistance is a concern I can positively tell you the only thing on a Sako 85 that can corrode is the two tiny pistol grip cap screws.
I play in a rainforest at the wettest time of year, hunt out of a boat in water from fresh to pacific coast salt water.
My 85 with all attached hardware gets no love in the bush and continues to look great and perform perfectly even though it's wet from daylight to dark.
Some of the guns mentioned here might perform just as good but if you look at a few you might be surprised at what isn't stainless or coated...
