I have had one in .30-06 for over 25 years. It came with a walnut rather than synthetic stock and right out of the box I was able to shoot sub MOA with it. I changed out the walnut stock for a B&C composite stock and had a gunsmith glass the bed and float the barrel. It still has the stock barrel and the trigger has been adjusted to about 2 lbs. My best 3 shot group at 100 yards was 0.26" ctc with my handloads. It is a superb rifle from the word go.
I have 2 of these, .243 and .308. A couple minutes with a dremel tool grinding stone and those fore end tabs are history, and it’s free floated. Never had issues with my rifles.
I was givin one of these by my brother who was givin it and he didn't want it because he is a rifle snob,so far I love it and can't find a thing wrong with it
I love the ADL , I have 3 of them in 243 / 270 & 7mm Mag M favorite rifles for sure...
Some actually prefer a closed magazine as it in effect is cleaner when out in the elements.
I saw this rifle at local Canadian Tire. Love it forvthe first sight. It's customizable, very light, inexpensive, & scope is awesome. I like 308 as well as it's cheapest optikn for large game.

i bought a VLS 700 not long ago. you can buy 10 shot magazine conversions. bu i like how its set up now i might change it down the track.
I bought one with blued barrel last year 243 just bought one last week in stainless 243 love em I also own 2 other remingtons I’m 65 been shooting them since I was 12 won’t own any other deer rifle
I have 3 Remington 700 ADL's. A wood stocked 7 MM Mag and a wood stocked 243. I also have this gun reviewed here but in 308. Great guns! Accurate, well made!
I have the 700SS ADL 30.06 with Leupold 3-9x50mm scope. I got it before the trigger recall on the later rifles Remington made. Dropped many a deer, sight is dead on
Remington knows that some people want a 700, but will turn their nose up at a 783. Bringing the ADL back was to market to that market.

It worked on me. I wasn’t planning on buying a freedom group product, but there was good Black Friday deal on a 700 adl in .308 win and I figured the 700 is a proven design that’s hard to mess up. So far I’m not pleased with the accuracy. It’s shooting about 5 MOA from a rest with 180 gr core lokt ammo, and 165 gr sst hornady. I know it’s not the scope or mount, and it isn’t me considering that I got 1 MOA with my AR 10 on the same day, so I’m going to replace the stock with the magpul hunter stock and see what happens

The 700 action lends itself to customizing more that budget model.

Just bought this gun used for $200! So happy
I have three that have been outstanding. I've heard rumors that Remington discontinued the ADL, but I've seen them continuously available at a number of venues over the last 6 or 7 years that I've been paying attention to them. I don't hunt, so I never found the blind box to be an issue. If I load 4 rounds, I will be firing 4 rounds. Negating the budget aspect, I replaced the synthetic stocks with some very nice CDL wood stocks that I got for a song and upgraded them. I could have gone with a box magazine, but I went with the traditional trap door.

Also the 700s have been around so long that they are kind of like the old chevys. All kinds of aftermarket stuff to upgrade the gun.
The most accurate rifle I ever had was a 30:06 ADL ! I bought it for that hammer forged barrel ! I didn’t like the action at all or the bolt as it mis fed pretty often, however I sighted it in for first shot accuracy ! I free floated the barrel but didn’t bed the action, which should not work but it sure did ????
Added a Hunter Stock from Magpul ,shoots great!
So if this has that internal mag with that plate that shortens the mag for short action rounds but it's actually a long action bolt throw can you even put a short action chassis with detachable mag on this like an MDT or similar?
I free floated mine. Shoots real good. Also from the factory mine felt like it had 8 pounds of trigger pull. I had to make adjustments down to 3 pounds

I like these entry level gun reviews and I’m actually curious about why you are one of the few reviewers who doesn’t turn up his nose at Savage. My local gun shops make me feel embarrassed to even ask about buying a Savage rifle and I’ve bought some dumb guns from them like a 500 S&W, a Glock 22 in a KPOS and even a Scorpion SKS. I’m a Vancouver guy if that helps and just a paper shooter and not a hunter anymore, (the supermarket is just too close and easy).

John-Paul Silke / Savage makes a nice and reliable firearm. I have enjoyed all my experiences with Savage stuff.
Can you review the Type 81 rifle, Suomi KP-31, K98k, and X95 rifle?
Best rifle as far as I'm concerned. Most widely used platform yet.
ADL has been made as long as the 700 has been around. Only difference was the stock no detached magazine. Only in last few years have they cut corners on the finish.
Excellent! I don't like the cheap plastic trigger guard (yours cracked already!)...I would replace the cheap plastic stock and free float the barrel with a synthetic stock that has an aluminum gedding block. I have 2 ADLs from 1976 and 1993. I replaced the original wood stock with a HS Precision synthetic stock and a Mcmillen stock. I hunt with a Remington 700 in .270 Win for blackail deer, dall sheep, black bear, caribou and a Remington 700 in .300 H & H Magnum for moose. I like the internal (blind) magazine because one less thing to lose in the wilderness.

Bought one with scope at Walmart 4 years ago for $385 & it's dead on right out the box. Very good rifle for the $ but now I'd love to have a 700 BDL in 280 or 7mm mag?
Hello I have the same hunting rifle if I was to change the stock to a archangel would that help the barrel to float? I want it to be accurate without throwing the round off due up holding pressure. Thanks much appreciated & happy hunting.
I have many rifles, but when I go to the field I take my old, reliable Remington 700 ADL. It´s a matter of trust.

@Josh Smith It was at a Walmart back in 2020 when they were getting rid of the “.223” rifles because they didn’t want to sell anything in that caliber because they were “woke”. So my local Walmart had it discounted super cheap and couldn’t pass it up! It came with a Chinese 4-12x40 if I remember correctly but replaced it with a Vortex.
I prefer the blind magazine because it gives me a reason to shoot it after I get done deer hunting
Do you know does the ADL have a large enough diameter barrel to have threaded 5/8x24 threads?

Could you do a review of the new RemArms rifles?
I’d really suggest the 783 over this. It has a magazine that you don’t have to chamber rounds to unload the rifle. It also has an adjustable trigger and a free floating barrel. It’s also half the price. It’s kinda a nobrainer.
@johnt4060

Dick Blackbeard They're also a little more accurate than the base model Remingtons. My grandpa was hunting with this guy who had a 783 and he said that thing was pushing 1/2" groups. I'm not sure how accurate this one is but I'll bet it's not 1/2" moa
@MegaAppleshit

You absolutely don't need to chamber the rounds to unload the ADL. Just push the bolt enough to pop the rounds out of the mag and tilt the gun to the side. Easy peasy. Mine also came with an adjustable trigger (I think. I never touched it because it was the perfect weight out of the box.) and I plan on buying a new stock anyway so the free float issue isn't really applicable to me.
I have 2 7mm mag and the 300 win mag both 700 all I love mines

If I remember correctly, Remington ended ADL production when they brought in the SPS series, but I am assuming they brought the ADL back because people wanted a genuine Remington 700, and didn't want to skimp out and get a 783 or something.
You don't have to rack the cartridges on the ground. You hold the rifle muzzle up and push the bolt forward to strip a round off the magazine but don't chamber it completely not turning it. Pull the bolt back and tip the round into your hand.

The 700 adl is a great rifle in the price range it's made in the USA the only competition it has is the Howa made in Japan parts availability for the 700 is unlimited.
Why do I like integral magazines for bolt-actions? I think this is the one I’m getting to learn how to hunt. I’m a tacti-cool dumb-ass so I never learned.

As a comparison, the 700 action is far better than the 783 (which isn't a bad action itself). There's the biggest difference. Other small differences include steel sling studs verses polymer (plastic) and a more traditional shaped trigger guard. It's a budget 700. It's not a bad rifle - in fact, it's a good one and like most modern firearms today, shoots very well. As far as not having a hinged floor plate (or drop clip) goes, some might argue this lends rigidity to the plastic stock and certainly less entry points for dirt and moisture. I prefer the BDL with the floor plate but not having one doesn't make this a bad rifle.

Mine shot .75 MOA right out of the box with a walnut stock. When I switched the stock to a B&C composite and had the bed glassed and the barrel floated it went down to about .3 MOA. That may not sound like much but at 1000 yds it can mean the difference between a hit and a miss.
So if i took this apart removed the mag well and internal magazine with spring and had a barreled action right and put it into a nice stock...it would be a good old Remington 700 at that point right...or is this crappy compared to one thats more expensive? I was gonna get one for 310$ and mod it and pimp it out but not if its impossible or expensive to

Coast. It's not to show off and "oohhh and aahh " over But Wall hanger * and 10 Pointers on the wall ,,it's hung it's share !
