The big resistance to the 710/770 is the press fit barrel into the action. It means that rebarreling is really not in the cards without some serious work.
Those that shoot them have been happy with the accuracy. One of my squad leaders loves his in 7mm Rem Mag. If you only shoot a box or two through it each year during hunting season, the 770 will outlast you. If you shoot a lot more than that then it won't, but for the price it's almost cheaper than paying a smith to rebarrel...

are kind of mutually exclusive- it takes more than a box or two just before hunting season to become proficient with one's rifle. It's not the sub-MOA groups that are important in hunting, it's the ability of the hunter to hit what he's aiming at
from field positions, under time pressure. Sub-MOA rifles do not benefit anyone who can not hold to 10 MOA without a rest. That said, a 4MOA rifle in the same hads will shoot just as poorly.......
Putting several hundred rounds down range in practical practice every year will make for rebarreling, eventually. Buy a gun that makes that possible, or even easy (Savage!).
