Remington 700 ADL .308 Questions (Updated Feb 01)

Can someone tell me if this is an ADL model 700 or which particular subgroup of the 700 line this is ?

I know for sure this is a 700, but I don't know enough to tell if it's an ADL or not.

Can someone tell me what one goes for new ?

Thanks.

That would be an ADL. It has nothing to do with the bolt or action. The ADL has a blind magazine. Meaning no floorplate. The only way I can tell from your pic is there's no magazine release on the trigger bow.

700's fall into 2 main categories. BDL's are not only a specific model but the term is also used to describe any model with a floorplate. ADL's have the blind magazine.

they've been discontinued, so there isn't a real standard price on them anymore. $350 - 400 is about right, though - before optics, etc.

Two more questions, please !

Can someone verify that the .308 gun pictured is the short action ?
I've heard that Remington made an ADL that was .308 chambered, but was long action to facilitate long action caliber conversions, which is why I ask.

Can a .308 ADL be had for $400 used ?

I called everywhere I could around Montgomery, Opelika, Auburn, and Wetumpka and the cheapest used .308 R-700 was $488 + tax for an SPS. Is that unusual ?

That's a short action....the only long action 308's Remington has ever made that I'm aware of are the M24 SWS used by Army snipers.

They are still listed in my 2008 Remington catalog.

Local Bi Mart around here was selling them (ADL Synthetics) new for $335. During the 2007 Hunting season. A guy in our hunting group bought one. Didn't notice what they were going for last hunting season.

Back in 2002 I picked up my .308 700 ADL Syn for around $480. I've seen two in my small town today that go for around $450. This is in the midwest.
