I was thinking of buying a new remington in 7mm-08.I was thinking of a CDL or a SS mountain rifle.What do you thnk is the better of the two.This is just about these two models,I know there are a few who do not like remingtons but, what one do you think is the better one and why.

the LSS Mtn rifle is the one I'd go for. In my eyes, there isnt a finer factory hunting rifle than that rifle, for under a grand

What you wanna use it for, where you will hunt, will you carry the gun?

I carry,I do a lot of walking when I can.There is only 1 lb diff.in weight.I hunt mule deer and white tail and elk, moose, I have a CDL in 35 Whelen and a mountain rifle in 30-06.I just wanted to see what other's thought.

I am leaning more towards the classic lines of a walnut/blued CDL rifle with ebony forend tip and grip cap and checkering - they are truly a beautful rifle. But the CDL requires more TLC, and is not as practical as the LSS (use and abuse it). If you already have a primary SS rifle that is pretty much indestructible, go for the CDL. I am currently eyeing the CDL in 338 Win mag - too beautiful not ot own one.
 
The LSS mountain rifle is stunning, one of the most beautiful production rifles I've ever seen, but IMHO putting a heavy laminate stock on a mountain rifle barrel is like putting a roof rack on a sports car :p

The CDLs are NICE, both the 700 and Model Seven varieties. A Seven CDL would be my choice, for the caliber and use.
 
Just sold my Remington 700 BDL S/S. 7mm-08. It is a nice rifle, seems pretty light weight to me. 24" bbl. I've still got and will be carrying it's sister.
