I hunted with a 700 adl for years before i sold it to fund an optic. Last month i picked up a tikka t3 lite ss in 308. The action is out of this world smooth. The trigger is one of the best factory triggers ive felt... insanely crisp, set at 3lbs from the factory, user adjustable from 2-4 (if im remembering correctly). Between that and the accuracy (guarantee of 1moa with good ammo) made it a clear choice for a hunting rifle. For a tactical rifle id lean toward the 700 because of stock and trigger choices, but for an out of the box, good to go hunting rifle, the tikka has a lot going for it.
Edit to say: any of the picks are great. Give each a fair look and choose!
