Dick,
We really have the same taste in guns. I just built a 7-08 last year on a Surgeon RSR action and #3 Rock barrel and Wyatt box.
I went with the Surgeon RSR as it seems a little smoother with just the right tolerances. Some of the names people are throwing out there are great actions for the bench rest game but to tight for hunting. The RSR is made with the "tactical" shooter in mind. Squared and tight tolerances but not so tight as to jam up if it gets a little dirty.
The newer Stiller Predator are now on par with the RSR but they were not when I bought mine. I think someone previously touched on this and I have not played with a new Stiller. The RSR comes with the option of a brushed chrome finish on the bolt, which I like. The bolt knob can also be changed as it screws on to the handle. It is a one piece bolt but a seperate knob.
Defiance makes the actions for GAP and previously Neisika. Borden is another one I wanted to go with but they wanted to much for me and the wait was long.
If you were closer I'd like you take the 7-08 for a test drive.
