If you guys had a few hundred 7mm 200gr Wildcats and a Remmy 700 long action (30/06 blued) and wanted to build a rifle for the bullets, what would it be? 
200gr Wildcats...700 action

A 284win would keep the same bolt fact.
Increasing to a magnum bolt face will get you to the 7mmWSM, 7mmSTW, and the 7RUM.
Myself, I view those the upper limit of what I would ask a 700 action to do.
Given a stronger action I'd be looking at the 7AX, 7Allen Mag, or the 284 JAZZ.

Whats the 7mm AX? I'm guessing Kirbys creation on the Dakota case??

This is a link to kirby's creations, that I know of. If there is a 7ax it must be new.

I would have swore I saw a 7mm ax. but according to that I was wrong. I would have swore I read about it. thanks for correcting me.

Keep the 30-06 and sell me the bullets. All kidding aside, if this is going to be a long range hunting rifle, then probably the 7 RUM is your best bet to drive that 200gr to its potential. Most rifle builders recommend a heavier action for the Lapua or other large case wildcats in 7mm.
