I have owned Rem 700s for years with my oldest being a 1968 30-06 and I am not up to date on the ADL, BDL, CDL and all the other nomenclature they use.
I considered buying a 25-06 that was an ADL but shied away because I don't know enough about this rifle. I know the caliber as I already own a 25-06 but I am a bit leery of Remington after having held a 770 that felt like crap. I never fired the gun and it may be a pea shooter but it "felt" cheap and seemed to be loose.
Not bashing Remington as the ones I have are awesome rifles but all of them are at least 20 years old and I know things have changed. Any ideas on the 700 ADL? Decent out of the box? I am not going to float, re-barrel, change triggers, stocks, etc. I like to buy a gun that has a reasonable chance to be a decent deer rifle straight out of the box with a moderate priced scope. I just happen to have a new Leupold in the safe that needs a home.
