Remington has been selling ADL's for decades. Apparently, people like the blind magazine. The BDL's have what you want.
You newer forgot your magsin 😁
They been bankrupt and sold out a lot. The company has been failing for years.
@@Bullets4Bucks the ADL model is popular for some people. It's not like buyers don't know what they are getting. I wouldn't want one, but I wouldn't buy a Ruger American either.
Remington 700 ADL = 700 barreled action with a protective plastic one can discard immediately or use until the desired stock or chassis is acquired. Dick's Sporting/Field & Stream Store's (ADL Tacticals/Varmints) were my "Go-To" 'barreled actions'. They almost immediately went into Archangel Mfg/ProMag AA700B stocks and [(Brownell's/MDT); (BRN-1/LSS-XL Gen1)] chassis. The Remington factory stocks didn't even have aluminum pillars, just holes 🕳 in plastic. I removed the recoil pads and swivel studs before discarding the stocks because they are worth more than I could fetch for the entire stock on Ebay. I modified the recoil pads to fit Luth-AR MBA-3's.
My man bought an ADL that hasn’t changed in God knows how long, and said it’s unacceptable to not have a magazine or floor plate😅😅
It's unacceptable in todays market. Just because they been doing it since the 60s doesn't mean it's good.
Woh lol, hunting rifle doesnt need detachable mags. And dont pretend someone in pricate security or otherwise is gonna be using a 600 $ gun for combat
I've had several rifles without floor plates or magazines & have several that does . Haven't hurt my accuracy either way. THAT BEING SAID I've got a 2007 rem 700 adl 270 win that with right ammo.will put 3 in a quarter sz target at 300 yards .if I do my part ..remember it's mostly the Indian not the arrow
I’ve been looking at a tikka t3x and it has a pretty cheap looking factory stock and the barrel isn’t threaded. I’ve had a couple of ADL’s over the years and they were fine, no issues at all.
This guy's review is really overly critical for a standard basic hunting rifle. The fact that it does not have a box magazine or hinged floorplate does not detract from the rifle's overall quality and accuracy whatsoever. And I believe that the composite stock's lighter weight as opposed to the old style wood stocks give it a definite advantage when trekking for miles on a hunting trip. This Remington is still the most accurate shooting rifle that has ever been produced despite this guy's petty complaints...
Some of us love ADL rifles my man. lol. The most expensive and best rifles Remington ever made are the ADL 700 titanium’s. You can throw a McMillan or Brown Precision on that dude you got there slap in a trigger tech or timney and you got an under 6 pound scoped mountain rifle. Not all of us are tacticool we want efficient light weight accurate rifles. With less crap to break or lose on a hunt. ADL is where it’s at.
Exactly I'd rather a ADL then something with a magazine that can break or mess up your shot if not put in properly ans ADL you can top off the mag way quicker without fooling around with a mag
I disagree about the ADL being the best, that would be a Tikka T3x with bottom metal replaced. But i definitely agree about this tacticool long range sniper L.A.R.P. that has infiltrated thd hunting world...of which it has no place for the average hunter. Glad theres still some intelligent people left here.
I have an older Remington 700 ADL in 30-06. It has a beautiful wood stock and is accurate as heck. I'll keep it thanks.
He's a wanna be shooter and gun expert. Keep your Remingtons. I won't part with mine.
Remington 700 ADL’s have always had blind box magazines, even back when they were wood stocks. It’s part of what has kept them the cheapest in the 700 model line. If they added a hinged floorplate, it’d be an SPS. I’d say with the addition of 5R barrels and Timney triggers, with no increase in price, is a pretty decent deal.
they all getting timney oem trigger without price increase? I doubt it will be as nice as retail packaged trigger but that sounds great. If one company have trigger lawsuit PTSD its Remington.
We shall see. I am happy they are improving the trigger. However just because the stock has always sucked doesn't mean it's acceptable. I mean they went bankrupt how many times now.
@@Bullets4Bucks I just tell people if they want a 700...just get the B14 Bergara. They took the 700 and fixed everything wrong with it...including not having to stick your finger inside the trigger guard to release the bolt. The B14 is just much nicer...but Bergara does need to thread the barrel even if they have to add $30 to the price.
@@Bullets4Bucks What I was getting at by my comment is that Remington makes this exact rifle with a hinged floorplate, and it's not much more $
@@humorss Timney worked with Remington to make a new trigger specifically for their new rifles. Not sure about the quality of them compared to their long-standing offerings.
Ok, on a hard use hunting rifle detachable magazines are a hard no for me. In my own experience, detachable box mags are more prone to failure than an internal mag with a drop plate or blind. Your hunting rifle is not a tactical rifle. The stocks are pretty shabby I will agree, older synthetics from Remington were a lot better, and I will agree the bluing on the adl sucks. Threaded barrels, in my own opinion, aren’t a must on a hunting rifle. I personally hate brakes and if you can’t handle a 6.5 creed or .308, man up, your 12 gauge is worse. Suppressors are great for hunting since it reduces the chance of hearing damage and can eliminate the need for ear pro, but because of how many hoops you go through to get them, I don’t use them.
They have entry level Kia cars and entry level Cadillacs also. All different kind of levels of most anything. Just don’t buy an entry level and complain cause it has no frills. If you want frills, spend the money for the upgrades. This guy bought the bottom of the barrel 700 and complained about it. It didn’t come with a floor plate but he bought it knowing that. Makes no sense to me.
Hmmm … To be quite honest, after listening to your review of the Remington 700 ADL rifle that you provided (e.g, your tone, words, thoughts, emotions, feelings and message) was an over-the-top (negative) demeaning approach to the viewers of this video - and your comments ONLY make you look to be a very negative and arrogant individual !!!
My advice and guidance to you is to learn how to present your review of both pros & cons in a more professional, positive and respectful manner!
Again, there is nothing wrong with providing honest feedback - (critical and positive information) to the viewer and to the manufacturer … However, to be on the receiving end of your review and critique, it is clear that you did not present and deliver your message in a way that is motivating and encouraging to Remington Arms.
Instead, and it’s best for everyone involved, if you can find a better method to present your gun review that will allow Remington to receive & take in your critiques as a positive and encouraging way that will motivate the manufacturer to raise the bar on the rifles that they design & manufacture.
The approach of knocking down and overly criticizing Remington is UNACCEPTABLE and helps NO one! Food for thought 🍳🍔🌭
I don't make money doing this and it's not my job to help remington.
@@Bullets4Bucks It’s also NOT your job, nor is it in your best interest, to choose a negative approach to reviewing products
@@Bullets4BucksYour review of the Remington 700 ADL rifle was excessively negative and came across as demeaning. Offering constructive feedback in a more professional and respectful manner would enhance the value of your critique. Focusing on motivating improvements rather than criticizing could foster a more positive dialogue. 🌟
Ill take blind box over a detachable any day
Your starting to sound like me! Mr Tikka fan boy!
No way!
Put my 700 adl into different chassis so I can have a magazine.
You got three rings of steel wrong. Its the boltface inside the .705 bore in barrel and barrel inside front reciever ring.
The New Remington 700 Alpha 1 Rifles with Timney Triggers are what I am waiting for , You can get them Now .
Before you dismiss the ADL&BDL, perhaps consider:
1. The 6.5CM BDL (hinged floor plate model) is only $562.49 as of today’s date from Bud’s.
2. I get you feel otherwise, but we don’t need a stock with a floated barrel in a sporter #2 contour barrel for a 3 shot hunting rifle AS CLEARLY EVIDENCED by your 3 shoot group with ALL 3 touching AND so many others with this same stock shooting very well. A floated/stiffer stock is going to cost more and be heavier. The fore end on ADL/BDL feels very solid because it’s not floating, but rather in the tabs. Also, the 13 3/8” LOP with this stock is very hunter friendly UNLIKE so many of the European 14+” stocks.
3. The 700 will feed the sharp shouldered 6.5 CM case LIGHT YEARS years better than a Savage Axis or 110 (the ejector needs to be beveled), Ruger American (flush mag can only handle two in the mag AND it needs to be worked fast), and many others.
I appreciate Howa rifles, too, but their lightweight models have major issues with stocks currently (wood and Stocky’s synthetic) and the other models are heavy/bulky. Tikka’s are nice, but have a longer LOP, cost 200-to-250 more, and don’t really have classic lines. In fairness, I purchased 4 new/post bankruptcy ADL’s (RAR serials spanning from 19,XXX-to -74,XXX. Two are .243, one 30-06, and one 6.5 CM. The .243’s and the 30-06 shoot like Tikkas or Brownings. Unfortunately, my 6.5CM is sensitive and more like a 1” rifle with tuned handloads and not great with factory. You have a very good 6.5. IMHO, I’d hold onto it if I were you. You could pick-up BDL bottom metal and a fiberglass stock and it might turn out to be one of your favorite rifles. Give it a chance. Didn’t you also have a new RAR serial 700 ADL 30-06 that also shot great?
Well said man.
He misses the point, and what he is paying for. This is like a glock before you do the slide, trigger, grip mods.
I think you missed it. The market changes and gets more competitive. Do you see car companies still selling the same models from the 90s? With inflation, this is 550 to 600 most places. The stock and trigger are embarrassing mess.
I settled in to watch this review. Wow, I like the looks of that rifle! Tapping around the stock, the receiver, and the forend. Yeah, so what, they're synthetic. It doesn't claim to be a wood and steel firearm. Yeah! No hinged floorplate? Great! I hate those things, and I hate box magazines even more. Just cycle the bolt...oh, yeah, nice stout bolt? Good...Tikka or Sako actions? The bolt knob on those is too small, I have to cycle it with my thumb and forefinger. They also have no heft, and the recoil is gonna be wicked on a small Tikka...unless it's 6.5 CM, of course. Plasic trigger guard, who cares, no threaded barrels, so what, and blued barrels that rust. Again, so what? This guy has never heard of WD 40. Well, we have a generational problem, or maybe a gun snob problem here.
All the features that Bullets4Bucks wants are available on other sporting rifles at a higher price point. So pay the higher price point. This is consumerism run amok. I'd buy this rifle and adjust myself to the rifle. Why? Because over the years I may no longer want a 2.5 lb trigger, whereas if I know this trigger over the years, that's a good thing.
ADLs are what they are. If you want more quality buy a BDL OR CDL
The receiver and the barrel are worth the price of entry, accuracy too. You can float the barrel with a Dremel tool and sandpaper. The trigger can be tuned. Mine breaks right at 3 lbs. Timney triggers never impressed me for the cost.
I do not understand or like threaded barrels on hunting rifles. I really can't see the benefit of a muzzle break or some sort of suppressor for hunting applications. Ruger has gone the tactical route as well with their Hawkeye model and its ashame. Good review. Glad it shoots well.
The accuracy of pre 64 Winchesters still haven't dispelled the myth of having to have a free floated barrel for accuracy 😅
I dont think we need a floor plate. Maybe to clear a jam having to only open a floor plate. Military rifle from ww2 didn't have floor plates yet.kicked ass
Trying to figure out a 30-06(prefer 26"). Sadly, howa/vanguards not doing much in stainless anymore. Also, howa only does a 22". I'm sick of companies slapping coatings on gun, and magically its stainless price. I like coatings, and all, but it isnt equal. I realize coatings do hold up to corrosion, but it does nothing for bore. T/C I think was one of the 1st with their weatherguard coating. Looks good and all, but I remember one of my 1st hunts with a T/C triumph with that coating, it was misting, and when I got home already started surface rusting at muzzle and some in bore. Wasn't impressed, as previously I had a Traditions lightning with a deep blued finish I had sold, that went through quit a few hunts, and shooting session, and zero rust.
With the new upgrade it won’t be that bad of rifle! I have owned probably about 100 Remingtons over the last 60+ of collecting rifles and most of them shoot great! Glad they are doing upgrades
With a timney trigger and a different stock or improved stock I would like it.
The Remington 700 ADL is a very attractive rifle and it’s not bad with a blind magazine. I have the stainless steel 30-06 and I love it!!
it’s still gonna shoot better then all of those. they’ve been one of the most accurate rifles on the market for years.
The “Three rings of steel” isn’t what you think it is. It’s a reference to what surrounds the cartridge case head. The recessed bolt face is the first which sits inside the barrel’s breech end (the second) and the receiver is the third. It was part of Remington’s ad campaign to overcome the controlled round feed action’s great popularity in the mid 60’s. It was an attempt to portray their new design as being stronger and safer than the Mauser style guns.
Yes, which is bs. Lol. Fancy way of saying the bolt face is recessed into the head….which is only that way so their flimsy extractor has a place to live. Nothing to do with strength.
It goes back to the early 50's in marketing, Weatherby claimed the same. As far as other comnents regarding the "flimsy" Reminton extractor, I've shot thousands of rounds through various 700's with never, EVER, an extraction issue.
LOL, the 3 rings of steel are the recessed bolt face, that is surrounded by the counterbore of the barrel, that is surrounded by the receiver.
Great review, thanks. Fair points all around. The big selling point for the ADL used to be that it was like $300-$400 retail, which made it appealing for guys who wanted a project rifle. The blind magazine and synthetic stock/barrel contact aren't deal breakers for me (so long as the latter doesn't affect point of aim) but the rust prone metal does. Surprised they jeweled the bolt, maybe to distinguish these from the prior mfg.? I'd replace the trigger regardless.
I really like this guy's reviews, but I feel like he complains too much. The Remington 700 ADL has ALWAYS had a blind magazine, since 1962, the CDL and BDL have mauser style hinged floorplates. Also, the plastic stocks do not come free floated, there are purpose built pressure pads at the muzzle end to give the barrel upward pressure, sometimes they work sometimes they don't. Furthermore, the new RemArms 700s all come with 5R rifles barrels and fast for caliber twist rates, like 1:8 for 7mm and 243, Bergara does not have that.
Thank you for watching. Unfortunately, I don't think the rifle is competitive in todays market. A lot has changed. Now new ones having a timney is going to be great but remington needs to improve this stock.
You hit the nail on the head. Its getting old hearing the stock this and stock that. The stock on this rifle obviously just shot better than half the overpriced junk he shows on here but yet this stock actual feels solid. Whereas a lot of the other Tupperware stocks are free floating but are warped over one way or the other with huge gaps around the barrel on either side. I do not like removable box magazines at all, i didn’t like the removable magazine in my tikkas or rugers or savages or any other rifles I’ve had. I prefer a hinged floor plate but a blind mag is fine by me also. I also have a 14 year old remington 700 adl .270 that consistently prints at or under half inch 3 shot groups with factory federal fusion. My Christensens never would shoot that tight for me. I’m my opinion he went into the review with bias before he even touched the gun and it shows . That’s fine but again look at the rifles twice this price that he’s reviewed that didnt group as well as this one.
I can live with a 700 as-is, even the ADL, or if anything with only a trigger upgrade (which hopefully isn't necessary anymore like you said). Otherwise I agree, might as well just spend more and buy something better right out the gate. I really do like the 700 for what it is though. The three rings of steel action is safe, haven't had an extractor problem yet (never know, might be tomorrow haha)
I had a 7 Rem in ADL back in the early 90’s and they all were blind magazines. Some were laminated stocks, some wood. They shot quite well. Over the years all my wood Remingtons in the 90’s n early 2000’s had to be glass bedded to get the best accuracy. I did get a black synthetic with that cheap finish and it rusted whenever a rain cloud showed up.
I had occasion to see a 7 Rem in BDL the other day but no guarantee the BDL or the CDL will shoot out of the box. And when there are rifles that are several hundred dollars cheaper that will shoot it makes a person wonder why buy a Remington. To really accurize you have to pay more $ to get them glass bedded and that forward pressure point on the stock shaved down to free float the barrel. But why do all that when other rifles shoot right out of the box?
ADL has always had a blind magazine, it’s your average 700 a lot of complaints about the rifle but if you wanted better quality or improvements look for higher end models for the price it’s a great rifle over mossbergs, ruger american and savage axis rifles. You can’t compare a tikka against this adl model🤦🏻♂️
This costs like 600 bucks now. I don't care if it's always had a bad trigger and stock for years. Just because it's always sucked doesn't make it ok. The market changes and gets more competitive. Just one more reason Remingtons been sold around and bankrupt for years.
@@Bullets4Bucks correct market changes and so does pricing a lot of the things you were complaining about tend to come better in higher end models or versions of rifles from all brands. Savage axis have ugly stocks but they shoot lights out, ruger have the american model with different versions of it and different price points…. Also both of those rifles have detachable plastic magazines as well and flimsy nor free floating
@@Bullets4Bucks I choose to start my rifle choice out with the Remington 700 ADL, 308win at 24" barrel. Mostly because the cost comparison vs the reliability seemed right in my budget. You make solid points but, it isn't like other competitors are guaranteed better.
I made sure to try each rifle both stock and upgraded at my local hunting club. They were very great at helping me decide and while every rifle was accurate, the price difference was everything.
I spent $620 for my ADL with a stock upgrade at $140. A tikka competitor is $1,099 and even then people recommend upgrading the stock and trigger, which at also an additional $140 and $130.
It's hard to argue against the price as a starter rifle with them all being accurate. So that is why I went with the ADL as my starter rifle.
Unacceptable, unacceptable, unacceptable- sometimes you get what you pay for - if it shoots sub MOA and works just fine - I wouldn’t complain too much - for 90% of the hunters/ shooters out there that’s probably more than sufficient- sounds like some California build restrictions for not allowing a box mag
Paid less than 400 bucks for my sons adl.06 five years ago.he claims trigger pull is measured in discipline.not lbs and oz
The adls are only 550 ish bucks where i live the weatherby vangaurds are not free floated as well and have had them shoot great good reviews keep it up 👍
trust me, the only reason why you grouped so well is because you are shooting it. As a terrible shooter, I shoot 1/2 moa on a tikka t3x but 2moa on this thing. Trigger is bad but most importantly for a $800 rifle it does not have a floated barrel.
Have this rifle in 243 & 223.
I love the brutal honesty of this video.
I believe that what he is saying is true. I absolutely love my ADL and it took down a very nice norcal black tail for me this year.
Unduly harsh review in my opinion. The ADL has always been a model without the hinged floor plate since its inception back in 1962. Some hunters (I'm not one) don't want the hinged floor plate (BDL) nor do they want to pay for it. As far as clips go other hunters (I am one) don't like a drop clip like the CDL nor want to pay for that either. Nowadays almost all my friends change out the plastic stocks all their rifles come with, except those with the beautiful walnut which they definitely pay a lot more for if they get 'em. And since Light Weight is all the rage nowadays, we get these cheap, light plastic stocks better left on air rifles. Just saying. This is a modern-day ADL. What's best about it is the wonderful action of the 700 and the hammer forged barrels that shoot sub-MOA right out of the box with good ammo. At least the sling swivel studs are not plastic.
I’m gonna call BS on the rust part. The new finish on these is on par or well above competition, especially howa. My howas finish scraped off when I layed it on my truck keys, it also rusted extremely badly on me. My 2024 m700 has been in multiple storms and not a speck of rust
You cheaped out and bought the ADL that is advertised with the blind magazine and has always had a blind magazine and bitched about it when you could have just bought an SPS if that feature was so important to you. LOL.
You also might want to refresh yourself on the “three rings of steel”.
Remington has always had a 3. Contact on their Sporting rifles. The only free floating barrel is on the target rifles.
You could get the SPSS model. Would have stainless finish, drop floor plate mag, and if it’s new it should have the Timney trigger. I think they go for like $750-800 though
Right now, everyone has the Stainless SPS listed anywhere between $700 and $950. Some folks are asking way too much. I just snagged a new DAL for my kids for $550.
All Reminton ADL's have no floor plate, that's just the way it goes.
Yeah they kinda just suck
Remington seriously needs to start doing cerakote. Their finishes need so much oil to not rust.
You can still buy one with iron sights. Something you don’t see anymore
They're on average great guns & I don't want a box magazine on a hunting gun
I have one in 243 win with a 1:8 it shoots alright
Stopped the video early because this guy is dissing the rifle for not having a floor plate, sets the 700 ADL apart is this very feature. Don’t buy a 4 cylinder truck if you want the upgraded engine…
Clearly not a knowledgeable source of information on Remington rifles.
Please familiarize yourself with your subject matter before posting videos and don’t waste our time for clicks…
Its a pile of crap stock and the marketing bs that says its lack of features set it apart are manipulation so you buy garbage. At least they are using timney triggers now because the old trigger was another huge fail
Not everyone likes the threaded barrel 🙄
So basically it was exactly as the website described it.
You know you can get an more expensive gun du
You need to review the Remington 700 Alpha 1
A shitty as rem700 might be. They look sooo sexy
I love people buying base model rifles and ten dumping enough money into it to make it more expensive than the rifle that they were hoping for. 😅
Shoots fantastic, but I hate it. Uggg...
Dude why are you pooping on a rifle that is for the working man
Stock sucks and finish sucks and trigger was horrid
Do research get what you want 😮
Tell us you know nothing about rifles without telling us you know nothing about rifles.
ADL’s are the choice of every knowledgeable lightweight rifle hunter out there.
There is absolutely no reason to have a floor plate on a rifle.
Remingtons best rifle ever was the 700KS from the Rem. Custom Shop. It is an ADL designed rifle and possibly the best factory manufactured hunting rifle ever made.
Don’t give advice when you are inexperienced.
Lol, your comment shows you are a Fudd stuck in the past. The adl sucks. Not having a Floorplate sucks. Having a shitty plastic stock sucks. It's overpriced garbage.
So stupid you don’t even know when Remington quality went down hill or why.
Moron
Sorry, I don't like a 'floor plate'. Most of my rifles have no floorplate. It was deliberate...
Remington best rifle ever
No surprise its Remington still LOL
Good video. Most people I know don’t really care about a threaded barrel, or trigger pull unless it’s extreme. All my rifles except one 22, a single shot, and my browning bar are blind mags. Me personally it doesn’t bother me at all either way. They are hunting rifles. I don’t see the point in needing a two pound trigger in my hunting rifle but each to their own. I’m more concerned about can I find ammo it can shoot. If it can does it matter the trigger? Free floated barrel ( yes I think it’s better when free floated)? Threaded muzzle? For me this rifle has what I’m looking for at a fair price. And all u really have to do to free float is take the action barrel off and sand down the two nobs that stick up at the forend that the barrel sits on and good to go! I actually have done that on one of my little bit older adl’s. Not gonna lie I would prefer a nice wood stock or laminate stock, I’m not a fan of any of the plastic looking ones. But at this price I don’t expect it.
It's not a "deluxe" rifle. It's the entry level 700. You want an "improved" stock you're going to have to pay for it. Since July all 700's have a Timney trigger.
My guy basically bought an entry level rifle (isn’t horrible tbh) and then complains about the cost of it and what he didn’t like about it, it’s kinda dumb you bought it just to say you didn’t like it, kinda useless imo.
You can complain all you want but my 30 year old 700 adl .270 cal is just as accurate as any .270 I've ever shot. It shoots 1.25" groupings at 300 yards with a basic Leupold 3-9 ×40 .
Just came across your video. You have basically zero gun experience. Yes it is what you describe, to a large degree, but everyone knows that you buy that gun to get the action and re-barrel it. and at that price point, it is an unbelievable value even if you are going to use it as it is. Solid steel milled action, and a solid bolt for probably 379.00, with the cheap but functional scope. if you paid more than that you paid too much. I am not a Remington fan, but I gotta call BS when I see an uneducated JA spouting off. Remington hasn't gotten much right lately, but the 700 action is hands down better than EVERYTHING at that price point.
Tell me you don't know anything without saying it... first off they go for over $500 dollars now... second your argument is basically that everyone knows its junk and replaces everything but the action... third its not the best you can get for the money... fourth the only thing worse than a fool is a fool who thinks he knows everything...
@@Bullets4Bucks I paid 329.00 +tax for my heavy barrel 700 ADL at Dick's. Besides, Man I have been in this game probably since before you were born. Go home, you're drunk. My argument is that it is the cheapest iteration of an outstanding rifle. There will be a lack of features to make it cheap. Solid steel action and solid steel bolt. No one else makes one better for a better cost. It shot a 1/2 inch 3 shot group on screen. I don't care what it looks like, more expensive rifles don't regularly do that. The trigger sucks, but it IS adjustable and can be made better easily. Not great, but better. then still you are $400.00 with tax into a rifle that is ready to hunt and shoots better groups than some guns three times the cost. And yet I say again, I am not a Remington fan, but they got the 700 right and they keep doing it, and the group on video shows it. Will a Savage Axis shoot as well, likely, but is the quality really on par?? Absolutely not.
BTW, I compare it to a savage axis due to price point. And like I said before, if you paid more than 379.00 you overpaid. it is what it is. the very cheapest iteration of a flagship model. and the video shows that it represents its self well. LOL on second thought your saying I don't know anything is fine. I can work with it.
a box magazine is a different model of rifle.. if you wanted that, you should have bought the ADL.. you should have bought a BDL.. you bought the wrong rifle and pissing on it..
Its a hunting rifle. The stocks fine as it is lol. Look at how its shooting!
As for not having a floorplate, buy the SPS.
I just looked at this review as I was considering one for a project. The whole rifle is less expensive than purchasing an action alone. I personally never had any issue with the ADL blind magazine thing. And I've aways swapped those triggers out, even a klutz like me can do that.
I have a 700 BDL .243 that’s approximately 30 years old. I’ve used it for hunting all those years with no rust at all. My bolt is ultra smooth and trigger breaks like glass no take up put slight pressure and it breaks clean. It loves Remington CoreLok. It’s a beautiful hunting rifle and does what it’s supposed to do. I really wanna try a post bankruptcy just afraid I’ll be disappointed.

Dude gets a budget entry level rifle and complains that it’s cheap and doesn’t have any high end features.
Sub moa for less than 400 dollars with a cartridge that will take any animal in North America.
Seriously! Just quit making guns and seek us budget friendly actions. They just don’t seem like a serious company
For that kind of accuracy I could overlook a lot of supposed negatives.
GRS Stock come on USA all the way. Magpul Stock that has full aluminum bedding instead (foreign) (perks) (givers). GRS are pillar bedded is a pig wearing lip stick. LOL LOL LOL All I buy are BDL then replace the stocks, 700 with a Magpul equipped with drop mag. 700 extractor are better than savage that are known for extractor troubles. My favorite is 308 Police Special H&S stock with drop mag 4 rounds, Holds perfect zero and get this bore scrubbing and cold shot right on zero. I think the secret is my last cleaning is with jag and patch working the first 12 inches back and forth 20 time each, yes the patch gets a little dirty, it maybe the bullet gets a better bite and traction, that first 12 inches is where the most carbon build up is. There was a gunsmith that would take the 308 Police Special rework it and guarantee sub half inch groups and yes he bedded the aluminum block. Me not so much three quarter inch groups, what there to complain about. Holding a perfect zero is number one.
I did up grade all my 700 with steel rails with 20 MOA and a couple with timney triggers. Put an timney on a 5.56 ranch rifle and the group size drooped under an inch. Thinking about a Wilson Combat drop in trigger for my 2''-3''.5 AR, mil speck triggers really suck. Talk about long and gritty. Accuracy crisp break and lock up time is part of it. Lock up time is the break of trigger and firing pin being struck. I wish Magpul made
a way to attach a bag rider on them. The rifle does slide back a little before the bullet leaves the barrel. 1K dollar plus stock has a way.
Scopes 1.5K I had is happen to me lean the rifle for it to fall and bend the tube. That kind of money for the weakest part of the rig. LOL LOL
I bought a 7mm mag recently and it was great except the filler screws for the scope mount unscrewed three quarters the way out and stopped.I had to drill them out and chase the threads.I have never had that happen to any other gun before.Overall accuracy was great.
Kimber montana has a blind magazine and has an MSRP over $1900
Thanks for the info 👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌
Always welcome
Everyone I know that has a REM 700 does exactly what you say: they upgrade the trigger and stock.
I hate hunting rifles that have a spring loaded hinge or magazine. They’re ugly. If you think 4.12 pounds of trigger pull is heavy come try mine out 😂. You are entirely to picky
Says a guy being picky about what I said...
Great review! Tell it how it is!
Thanks! Will do!
I prefer a blind mag well. No accidental dumps and work great over s bag. And how many times a day are you gonna unload? I guess the dissing was over the top for a fine performing rifle. But you invited criticism.
It's 🗑
Wow. You don't usually see a reviewer know so little about what he's reviewing. I'm not a Remington fan boy, I've had both good and bad experiences with them, but it irks me to hear someone spread false criticism simply because they were ignorant about it.
"Three rings of steel" does not refer to the recoil lug sandwiched between the receiver and the barrel, it refers to the recessed bolt face surrounded by the barrel which is surrounded by the receiver. So if there was ever a case failure you're protected from the explosion by three separate layers of steel fitting together and supporting each other. In reality it doesn’t matter much, but that is what it means.
The barrel is not designed to be free floated. Barrel harmonics are purposely dampened by two pressure pads at the front of the fore end, and you proved it works by shooting the sub-moa groups. Weatherby does the same thing on some models. Saying it's "unacceptable" to not have a free floated barrel is BS. Buy what you want, but don't trash them over it simply because you don't understand how the stock and barrel work. I agree the plastic stocks are cheesy and too flexible, but dampening the barrel harmonics is a completely viable design, especially with sporter profile barrels.
Plenty of r700 models come with a hinged floor plate (BDL, CDL, SPS, XCR...) but you bought the one model that specifically doesn't, and then complained that it doesn’t. That's like buying a Ford Focus and then complaining that it doesn’t have a truck bed so therefore Ford sucks as a truck manufacturer. They offer models with the feature you wanted, it's your fault for buying the wrong one.
Finally, on the matte black finish rusting, I 100% agree with you. I've had a 700 ADL, a couple of 870 Express Mags, and they all rusted like crazy. Even during the time between taking them out in the morning, hunting throughout the day, and oiling them down in the evening, they would rust. That finish IS unacceptable. My 700 XCR2 on the other hand is stainless finished with black melonite and it's impervious. I love that one, wish they would bring that model back!
Ok, rant over...
Nice rant. I did mess up on the stupid 3 rings of steel, which is wasted old news anyway that was used as marketing jargon for far too long. Everything else is irrelevant. The adl shouldn't be sold with that pathetic stock and design at its price, the coating sucks, and trigger is horrid. The barreled action is used in other models free floated. Basically, in all cases, a rifle shoots as good or better free floated. That "pressure point" bs is just so that the flimsy forend doesn't feel as flexible or make inconsistent contact with the barrel. It's basically a marketing lie. Just like the Ford focus, this gun sucks.
@@Bullets4Bucks Fair enough.
My Howas and Vanguards are extremely accurate and reliable. Remington rifles these days are not built like they used to be. I have a BDL in 7mm. Magnum that was made in 1975 and its one helluva rifle.
I bought my son a BDL in 30/06 and it was made in 1977 and its a beauty that shoots lights out. I have been an avid reloading fool and these two rifles can poke a 3 shot group into a single jagged hole at 100 yards. My Howas can do the same damn thing with factory ammunition and so can my Vanguards. Another rifle I have, a Ruger American in 308 can do it too with factory ammunition. My smallest group ever was with my 243 Howa with a Hogue soft stock and that damn thing doesn't care if it's a Remington or winchester 100 grain softpoint.
Rifles these days are more inherently accurate than they used to be.
I didn't expect much out of that rem 700. You should check out the new beretta brx1, I like to see what you think before I start looking for one.
No hinge plate because that is what makes the ADL different from the BDL and always was the primary difference. If you want the hinge plate then get the BDL (or CDL).
Yeah he doesn't seem to get that.
@Nick-wn1xw It's because he's the type that buy $2000 rifles and say you have to as well to have quility lol these gun youtuber review people talk shit on cheap rifles but praise a $2000 or more over price Christensen Arms rifle or other rifles.... that I've seen more issues with thes cheaper guns.. and the ADL is a great rifle I have a few older one's and I perfer them over a magazine fed rifle. Less likely for magazine to break or you put it in wrong and easy to top off with out messing around with a mag. These guys are spoiled brats that hate on everything that isn't $1000 or more ... I'd watch Who tee who over most these dumbasses
you''re pissing all over an entry level rifle dude..
Savage axis is entry
What do you mean by free float the barrel I’m new to guns?
The forend of the stock or barrel channel is making contact with the barrel if it is not free floated
Another Great Video 💯 Thanks Steve 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Glad you enjoyed it tmf
Thank you for the honest review!!
My pleasure!!
Bring another Tikka video 🤣
Lol
😮mantap
Many years ago, I had one of the first synthetic 700 synthetics in 30/06 and sold it on post haste. It'd shoot a nice group but if I left it in a hot vehicle or out in the sun on a warm day the point of impact would move up to 12 inches at 100 yards.
Great review
Thanks
I just bought one in 300 win mag haven’t shot it yet cause I tore my bicep. That plastic trigger guard drives me absolutely nuts. It’s a slap in the face for the price.
I agree unacceptable ! No box mag 😢😢 Wow says a lot
Just junk riding a famous name
I have the exact same rifle in 30.06 and it is a tack driver. I am not impressed with the stock or the trigger but I plan to upgrade those. That's why I bought the rifle for the ability to upgrade. I would love to see you review the new CZ American 600. Came out last month and I have not seen reviews or videos on the rifle but it looks like a fine gun. I was thinking about getting it in 6.5 Creedmore.
It's been out for at least 2 or 3 years and plenty of reviews on it.
You want a good modern Remington 700, just buy a Bergara rifle. Its substantially better
You must of not seen his Bergara video 4 days ago? Good luck on Bergara your going to need it
@@edwardabrams4972 I did and that's one rifle with a common issue found in thin barrels such as that one. I've owned around 7 of them all steel barrels and have shot a dozen more. I also own their CVA paramount which also shoots sub moa. Not a single issue on any of them with most shooting half moa or better with factory ammo.
I’ve seen a lot bergara rifles sent back for ejection issues when they first came out. Does anyone know if this is still an issue? I really like the bergara, but would like to know if this issue is cleared up before I purchase one. Currently all my hunting rifles are controlled round feed rifles (custom interarms mark X, Winchester model 70 safari, and custom 98 mauser). Really would like to add a bergara to the lineup because the aftermarket is loaded for the model 700 footprint rifles. I have had two howa rifles that shot and extracted amazing, but they were set up as target rifles instead of hunting rifles.
This guy doesnt know exactly what he is talking about at all
That is clear
