this is a question that cannot be answered really for you by anyone but YOU
as each rifle will fit, a shooter differently
so, what rifle fits me best, might NOT fit you best!

and shooting to 700 yards , isn;'t just the rifle, its the shooter , and them having or NOT having the practice and experience to shoot that far
all the rifles are able to do so, if the shooter has the skills to do so
and took the time to learn them, as well as finding loads that work in THERE rifle,a s again, NO two rifles will like the same load all the time
so, its abbot working with the rifle that fits you best and spending the time and MONEY to find the right load, and then bench time learning the skills to read the wind and shoot accurately in the field and NOT just from a bench!
far too many people today think, that all they have to do is BUY somethings and they will be good at it!

you cannot buy skills and experience!

so again, get to a bunch of shops, and actually handle ea ch rifle your considering and see what one fist you best, then learn how to set it up with the right load by SHOOTING it with many loads till you find the one that works best at ALL ranges you MIGHT shoot at
and then get seat time in shooting at all sorts of distances from BOTH the bench and in actual hunting field positions!
