Buy the FW THEN decide. Put it on your Visa or whatever and shoot it along side the Kimber, decide which one you want to keep and sell the other. Warning, you may decide to keep both. 
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

The stock "pot belly" and overall big size are part of the reason I'm willing to let it go. I love the rifle, and it is a hammer with 200gn accubonds pushed by RL22, but geez sometimes i feel it handles like a club. It would also be nice to have a floor plate magazine again.
Theres very few guns I regret selling, but my last 84L is one of them.
If you think the 8400 handles badly, I doubt the 300WM featherweight is going to be an upgrade. It's a lot heavier rifle. The 8400 in 300WSM is much better. But maybe you just need another 84L ? Maybe a wood stocked classic with a floorplate?

Which one do you like the best? That is the one You should go with.
I own a 338-06 in an 8400, and more than a couple Model 70 Classics in 270.
I like both.
