New or used?
Oh, hell - either way I would go with the M70. It's a better hunting rifle in every respect than either the Remington or Browning. I'm not a fan of the new trigger (the original has the best hunting trigger ever put on a bolt gun), so I would look for either a pre-'64 or a newer "pre-'64" built in the last years of USRA.
Don't worry too much about stainless. I live and hunt up here in the Pacific Northwest. Rust has never been an issue on my carbon steel guns.
