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.

CDL or Mountain, which ever fits best

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?

Have you ever thought of a Model 7? Light and accurate. Great for those lonnnnnnnnng walks.

Get the LSS

Theres a Mountain LSS 7mm-08 for sale in the exchange posts... might be worth checking out.

LSS Mountain Rifle....no question.

The laminates are nice rifles, but the stocks tend to be heavier than their walnut equivalents.

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.

CDL or Mountain rifle?

Having a SS all weather rifle would be a good addition Gord, although I really like the looks of the CDL.

I like the Model 7 CDL, basically the same gun, with a 20" barrel.

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

The CDLs are NICE, both the 700 and Model Seven varieties. A Seven CDL would be my choice, for the caliber and use.

Choices

The LSS mountain rifle is ALMOST nice enough to make me buy a Remington, almost.

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.

I am going to order the CDL tomorrow.I just like it better,I also need a twin for my 35 Whelen.
