About This Firearm
The Remington 700 ADL is a synthetic-stocked bolt-action 7mm Remington Magnum built for open-country big game hunting. Remington no longer makes it, so it is a used buy. It got the 26-inch barrel and 120 oz of weight that Remington gave the magnum chamberings, which shoots this cartridge comfortably and is heavy to carry.
Three rounds go in the magazine and nothing is fitted to the receiver, so a used one needs a base, rings and glass before it can be hunted with. The stock has a 13.38-inch length of pull, which is short enough to shoot in a winter coat. No muzzle thread is listed for it either, so a brake on a cartridge this size means barrel work.
If you're cross-shopping, the Browning X-Bolt Hunter is also a used buy, in walnut, with a detachable rotary magazine and the same barrel length, 0.5 lbs lighter. The Winchester XPR is still made, has an MSRP of $659.99, also carries 26 inches of barrel, and feeds from a detachable box at 0.25 lbs less weight. The Remington has a wider parts market around its receiver than either of them.

Strengths & Limitations
- Bases, rails, stocks and triggers cut for the Model 700 are made by more companies than any one rifle's own parts; Bergara even builds its hunting rifles to take the same rails.
- The magnum chambering uses the same receiver length as the .270 and .30-06 ADLs, so long-action parts made for those fit this one.
- It is 8 oz heavier than the Browning X-Bolt Hunter, and that shows as less muzzle rise under a magnum load.
- At 46.5 inches overall it is a long rifle to move through timber or turn around in a blind.
- Nothing on the rifle adjusts for fit.
- Package guns were sold with inexpensive scopes fitted, so treat the glass on a used one as a bonus and not as part of what you are paying for.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the twist in the 7mm?
1:9 1/8, which Remington listed for the 7mm chambering. That is fast enough for the heavy bullets the cartridge is used with.
Why is the barrel longer than on other ADLs?
Remington gave the magnum chamberings two inches more barrel than the standard calibers.
Was a stainless version offered?
Yes. Remington listed an ADL SS in stainless steel alongside the black oxide and deep blued finishes.
