Just throwing the idea out there but you might want to look into the remington 700 XCR or XCR ii. The XCR is discontinued but is still available in most gunshops chambered for 7mm-08. Plus even though the XCR ii isn't in 7mm-08 it has many other great cartridges. it retails for $1005 but I picked one up new for $769.99 in .270 Win.
