About This Firearm
The Remington 700 ADL is a plain bolt-action .308 Winchester built for deer hunting. Remington no longer makes it, so it is a used buy. Remington listed this version as the 700 ADL Synthetic with Scope, so the optic was part of the package and a used rifle can still be carrying it.
It has a 24-inch barrel, a 4-round magazine and a synthetic stock with no spacers or inserts in it. The safety has two marked positions, S and F. Nothing on the rifle adjusts for fit.
If you’re cross-shopping, the Remington 700 SPS is the same action at the same 7.25 lbs, with Remington’s improved ergonomic synthetic stock and a receiver drilled and tapped for scope mounts. The Savage Axis II is a used buy too, 0.65 lbs lighter with a 22-inch barrel and an AccuTrigger the owner can set. Between the two Remingtons the stock changes, and both leave the trigger alone.

Strengths & Limitations
- Bases and rings are easy to find because other makers cut their receivers to the 700 pattern. Bergara says any standard Remington 700 rail fits its B-14 line, and Christensen Arms lists its Ridgeline rifles as Remington 700 optics base compatible.
- All the exterior metalwork is matte blued carbon steel, which does not flash in the sun from a stand.
- It is the same 700 action as the Remington 700 SPS, so a rail or an aftermarket trigger made for the 700 fits it.
- Check the trigger break on a used rifle before money changes hands.
- The stock has no texturing or palm swells of the kind Savage put on the Axis 2, and no bedding system behind it.
- At 43.63 inches overall it is a long rifle to work in a blind or slide into a scabbard.

1:10 right hand, which Remington listed across the ADL chamberings.
Does Remington still support it?
Not with new rifles, but bases, triggers and gunsmithing for the 700 action are still easy to find.
