I have a tack driving Tikka in 7-08 already. Why am I so enamored with another 7-08 in a:

Cooper 54 Jackson
or
Sako Grey Wolf
or
Kimber 84M Select (egads...)

Can anyone steer me in the right direction?

Because you always need a backup. Do it.

I do not own a 7MM-08 Rem. But I do think that it is the best cartridge to come down the pike since the .280 Rem. And I don't own a .280 Rem either.

I could make do with a short-action 7MM-08 Rem for most everything in North America. But for bullets 160 grains & heavier, I'd want a .280 Rem. There ain't nothin' I wouldn't hunt in North America with a .280 Rem loaded with 175 grain Partitions, provided, of course, that that Jack Link's commercial didn't manage to contract a real one to play the part of Big Foot.

A Cooper 54 Excalibur in 7-08 would be pretty sweet.

Cooper!!

The Grey Wolf has a fat bulky stock, at least in the long action. The one I had for a short while just too heavy with too much lumber for my tastes. The Finnlight is a different story.

Find one of the original Rem 700 Ti's & rock on.

Sako.

I have a grey wolf in 300 WSM and I don't think the stock is bulky.

Why not another Tikka? And yes I know, I'm boring.

Sako Grey Wolf is smooth and would be "cool" and would probably be as accurate as your Tikka!!!

I've never had a Cooper in my hands, also have heard there can be good Kimbers and bad Kimbers?
