The only difference between a model 12 action and a model 16 is the accutrigger.
If I remember correctly, the M12 trigger will go down to 1-1/2lb and the M16 will only go down to 2-1/2 or 3 lb.
DBM is an option on most of the models, but blind mag is still pretty much standard.
The 7MM WSM action would not be the best for your 7-08 build. It is a large shank CRF action. To make it work, you would have to change the bolt head, magazine box and remove the standing ejector. Also, you would have to order an aftermarket barrel in large shank.
A far better choice would be to keep your eyes open for a 22-250/243/308 rifle. With that as your starting point, you would only need to swap out the barrel and you would be good to go.
Yes, the $12 would be well worth your investment. It will save you a lot of money, in the same way your wife is saving money while she is out shopping today!
