The Savage model 14 American Classic is also chambered in 7-08 IIRC. If you're a synthetic guy, Nolser and Forbes are chamberings rifles in 7-08. A Remington 700 in a LVSF, or if you like heavy barrels a 7-08 in the VLS laminte is pretty sweet also. And has been mentioned, no flies on Sakos. Good luck in your quest. Best, GWB A Kill Artist.
