This is the one I would go for:

I had a workmate back in my employment days who shot benchrest hunter matches for a couple of years, and used one of these in your OP caliber. It was unbelievably accurate @ 200 yards, and as I remember, he won a few matches with it using his hand loads. It was used "right out of the box" as from the factory (couldn't say if he adjusted the trigger on it or not, though). The "classic" year for the 7MM-08 REM was 2001, as it shows in the seller's pics. Maybe you can get the winning bid on this one for substantially less than the "buy it now" price, if you're looking to buy.

Your opening OP was quite general in your inquiry; "What do you consider to be the best mass production bolt action on the market today in 7mm-08?" I believe the best answer is, the most accurate one. It's out there... I'd go for that 700 classic.
