i've never found a stock bolt-action rifle with a thinner middle for easy carrying. always was able to get older adls to shoot well ...

I've bought quite a few new remmys over the past 6ish years. Never had a problem with any of them.

thanks, doc and bull. might try to pick a good used one after deer season ... I have seen some fine older 700's from "grandpaws closet" in pawnshops and on gunbroker for less than the newer ones bring. 30-06 and 270 being the main calibers I see. 308 being the hens tooth of the bunch. Ive had no problem accuracy or mechanically from any newer 700's but the finish they use nowdays is crappy on the blued guns and you have to really keep on your cleaning and oiling.

Was told that current 700s (last 3-4 years) are all built on new machinery, with current cnc methods and tolerances, and are more tightly controlled than ever. Take that FWIW, coming from a Remington engineer acquaintance. My follow on question was about MIM and decent parkerizing, and that shortened the discussion. OTOH, my limited experience with post-01 Remington rifles indicates they’re much improved for QC over the last 7-8 years.

I’ve messed with a few newer ones myself only seen one with an issue. That particular one had a poorly fitted stock in the bolt handle area. The bolt didn’t completely close without contacting the stock. I had to clean that up but no biggie. All the one I’ve dealt with shot moa or better with factory ammo it liked. Heck I had to do that to my Ruger m77 mkii 300 mag i purchased 16 years ago 😀

I bought one from a guy a year or so ago. Varmint 223 model... couldnt get a rem action for what I got it for. Thought it was a sps, but when i showed up with the cash, it was an adl model. Bought it anyway and quickly found some bottom metal and converted it to a hinged floorplate and upgrqded the stock. Shoots lights out.

I have seen some fine older 700's from "grandpaws closet" in pawnshops and on gunbroker for less than the newer ones bring. I wish y'alls pawn shop owners would talk to ours.......most of the pawn shops around here have guns that look like they fell out of a truck and got run over a few times, or got left out in the woods for a week or 2, but they ask as much (sometimes more) than the exact same gun would sell for new. I mean, I know they're pricing it high with the expectation of a little haggling, but dang.

Some of them aren't worth even trying to deal with and I agree some will price used guns higher than new ones. Others ive walked out with some very good deals. Less than $300 on nice older Rem 700's with no glass.

What do y'all think about the triggers? Most of the ones I have messed with feel like there must be sand in the stock and the finish on the gun overall.... you'd be better off getting one of those rifles from the pawn shop with road rash and hitting it with some Krylon.
If you are trying to modify it... that's one thing. If not....get a Weatherby Vanguard or a Savage. You can get a Ruger Hawkeye from CDNN for $500.
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.

On the newer 700's I havent felt what I would call a good trigger on any of them other than maybe one or two.. I go into a 700 new or old knowing im going to put a $100 timney in it. Crisp, no creep and adjustable weight. Worth the $100 to me and takes 5 minutes to do.

thanks, gents. i've refiubished several adls pre-remlin; all good shooters after bedding and barrel floating. the adl plastic stocks fit me very, very well, and have a narrow middle for toting. those are the main reasons i'm considering one for a project.
