i own both a m77 and a model 700. hunt with my uncles model 70 from time to time.
imo the hawkeye is an ugly SOB, not a fan of the stock on the typical BDL 700, so I would have to say model 70 first, then a 700, then a vanguard if it had a nice wood stock.
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

OK ONE MORE THING:
Does anyone own a VLS Rem? Is it heavy and why is called a "Varmint" Laminated Stock?

Winchester 70

Remington 700. Never had one not shoot
The laminated stock might be a little heavier , which isnt a bad deal with that cal. LStocks are usually a little tougher and hide little scratches and such.

Winchester Model 70 Featherweight, because of control round feeding, 3 position safety and great looks!! I have several in different calibers and they shoot great too.

I would like to see how the accustock shoots. The 700 is also a good choice.
Never been to a camping world. I prefer Dick's to be honest.

The Varmint designation means a heavier barrel and different profile stock than standard.

Remington 700 BDL. In my opinion the best gun for the money on the market. They don't have to make a 1.5" guarantee. They just do it.

Go buy you a Remington 700 and you won't be disappointed. I have looked at the Marlin and it is a nice rifle and has great features for the money. But for the money a 700 is hard to beat.
What kind of lights does it shoot out?
Like are we talkin the mini bulb Christmas lights or a 500 watt flood light?

I own a Rem 700 CDL in 270win, and my new $300 Marlin XL7 in 270win will out shoot it all day. I bought the Marlin as a beater gun but it has become my go to gun.

The marlin is more accurate than my rem700 no matter what ammo I put through it. The bolt isn't near as slick but accuracy is more important to me.

I also used to own a reminton 700VLS in .308 it was a nice rifle and shot extremely well, but its to heavy to be practical for hunting and now I think they are over priced

My friend bought one and it also shoots very well. Has been reviewed nicely, too.
 She was only a whiskey maker, but he loved her still.

I am addicted to my stainless steel Ruger M77 MKII. Mine is 7mmRemMag and I have never had an issue with it. With technology being pretty much the same nowadays and all the brands mentioned having a good name, I would buy the cheapest one that suits your needs.
