My latest gun is a NIB, Blued, Rem 700 ADL Synthetic, .223 that was at a discount mall in Waterville, Maine a year or so ago. It was one of the last rifles in store stock that was purchased by Marden's Discount stores. I have other 700s in .223, but can't pass up a bargain, especially when it's NIB for under $200. She shoots very well and has already taken a couple of critters. Everyone should have a "loaner" rifle that we're not afraid to get scratched (or worse). If this one got "run over" by a truck, I wouldn't cry much.
