No offense intended but IMHO people who want a 35 Whelen don't generally want a Remington M700, Whelen fans are more nostolgic and want Mausers, Springfields, M70's etc., not M700s and the Kimber fits this bill to a tee. They want blued steel and walnut stocks, not stainless and plastic.
I'll chime in with exception #1 to your rule.
