I'm a Kimber man, but think the Montana is a better choice than the Adirondack for a mountain climbing deer rifle.  With a compact scope and web sling it weighs less than 6.5 pounds.  It can be had for about $1000.  The Adirondack costs more, and I don't like the short barrel.  It doesn't balance as well.  I think 22" is short enough.  The fluted bolt isn't as smooth either, as the ejector rides along it as you work it and makes it feel choppy.

 

I would take a Kimber over any other rifle offered for the same price, and prefer it over quite a few rifles costing much more.

 

I don't get the 18" barrel on the Adirondack either, that's just to short.  I really want a Montana in either 300 WSM or 280 AI which both have 24" barrels.  Kimber makes a great mountain rifle.
