Remington 700 ADL Review: A Bare Bones Basic Hunting Rifle

[@MyVenancia]

Good info, good demo, Thanks. I would stick to the 783

[@UltimateArms]

thank you for the comment. i agree i would really stick with the 783 too. and please dont forget to subscribe. thanks again!!!!

[@ArkyVarminter]

Why? The 700 is probably the most popular and respected action in the industry. The most copied action of all. The ADL Remington is a great rifle.

[@RyanGunn-c5p]

Come on Remington!! Either make the Remington's we remember from pre-90 or just quit making them.

[@UltimateArms]

agreed

[@nmelkhunter1]

Great review. One of buddies, who guides pronghorn and muley hunters, bought a post bankruptcy Model 700 BDL stainless steel in 25-06 to use as a backup gun for his clients. Out of the box it shot 1” groups with hand loaded 120 Paritions at 3030 fps. He also tried hand loaded 117 grain Hornady Interlocks and they shot slightly better than the Partitions at similar velocities. All in all he’s happy with it for the price since it will serve its intended purpose.

I picked up one of these 700 ADLs new at Rural King on clearance for $369.00 - 6.5 Creedmoor. It actually shot pretty decent as is but I got it for a build.

[@UltimateArms]

That's a great price for a build!

[@rayst.2934]

I replaced mine with a good Walnut stock

[@UltimateArms]

nice i do like a walnut stock more than these now adays. thanks for the comment and if you dont mind subscribe today!! thanks again!!

I bought a " used " Tikka T3X from a shop here in Edmonton last month, I think it was unfired but no box or warranty, it's the stainless model in 6.5 creedmoor with the basic Tikka synthetic stock which is an ok stock, I easily adjusted the trigger to 2.75lbs, cleaned the barrel and mounted a 20 year old Leopold VX3, the first time out it shot .5 ,( 3 shot ) with match ammunition, I quit after that first group, shot it twice since with 4 or 5 brands of factory non premium ammunition, it's .5-.75 (3 shot ), with all but one brand, it shoots to almost the same place with all ammunition, all this for $1050, I'd gladly spend a few $ more rather than purchase a cheap Remington or Mossberg, that $1050 is extremely excellent value for $$

[@UltimateArms]

wow a t3x at that price good deal. they are expensive new now though. glad you enjoy it i have a t1x 22lr love that rifle. was using a bergara lrp loved that rifle more than a rem. thanks for the comment!!

[@astang1072]

Hoping Remington brings back the dependability their name was made famous for. R700s have long been my go-to bolt gun

[@UltimateArms]

can only wish, i dont think that will ever happen now though. thanks for the comment!

[@xengyang6552]

Remington 700 rifles aren’t great but I love the action. Really good bang for the bucks for beginner custom build.

[@UltimateArms]

Yeah it's definitely a good platform for a custom build.

[@RagingOatmeal]

I bought a 700 awr in 30-06 and considering my accuracy with handloads and box ammo. Id say its worth the 979$ cad I paid. However. A basic 700 should be priced the same as a savage axis. Awr has a stainless 5r barrel and a grayboe stock from the factory. Worthwhile improvements for not that mych more.

[@edward-sp2bk]

thanks for the review. yea i dont think i'd waste my money on this rifle !!!! thanks again

[@UltimateArms]

Thanks for the comment!

[@santossalinas7209]

Great review! Can you post where you purchased the last two boxes of ammo? Many thanks.

[@UltimateArms]

well i'm in canada. so i might be able to help you on that one. if your in the US. been using them for awhile now, i just find them in any shop i am near. thanks for the comment and dont forget to like and subscribe today

[@santossalinas7209]

@@UltimateArms they don't carry those in .270. I have the pre bankruptcy .270. Thanks for the reply and I did subscribe. great channel.

[@WildTex-m9u]

These in 270 Win are $640 here in Texas. I think that's a really decent price if they are still hammer forged barrels.

[@jaybailleaux630]

Typical with the Remington ADL. I handloaded for one in 270 for a hunting buddy. Shaved a bit of the stock in the action area to improve the bedding. Did a latter test with a 130 grain Sierra bullet . Most accurate load was 60 grains of H4831 . Shot from 1/2 to 3/4 inch 5 shot groups with that load. Straightest shooting 270 Winchester I have ever seen. I did not even free float the barrel. That's the Dangdest thing I ever seen in a cheap rifle.

[@UltimateArms]

that maybe so, but a basic rifle like this for this kind of money? i think remington got way to greedy on this rifle. when i can buy others that are more bang for the buck at the same price, and shoot just as well ore better. thanks for the comment and dont forget to subscribe!

THANK YOU!!!!

[@KennethMac1]

Is that rust on the gun, next the lettering

[@nicksummerfield5408]

7:57 there’s already rust on a brand new gun that’s ridiculous. I’m a big Remington guy but I don’t see them ever truly coming back.

[@UltimateArms]

ill have to look at that. i had it out before i did the video. but never looked at it close.

[@bigracer3867]

Love me some Rem 700s. Fully custom ability is one of my main draws. Shoot out the barrel just get another screw it on. Remage style keep going.

[@UltimateArms]

true you can swap parts out like mad on them if you have too. thats the good part. but a bare bones rifle at this price please. ! thanks for the comment!!!

[@bigracer3867]

@@UltimateArmsyea not that much in murics🎉 sorry my Northern friend🎉🎉. Plus their factory is almost next door to me. I can drive there anytime i wantg. Same for Ruger. Blessed I am. 🎉🎉

[@UltimateArms]

@@bigracer3867 now see thats handy. wish i had that here in canada. i have some i'm still waiting to send back to get fixed, and thats by courier!

[@gregpace4676]

I had that mindset for years, buy a Remington 700, get the receiver squared up, buy a good barrel, Timney trigger, new stock and $2,000 later it will shoot. Now I just go buy a Tikka for about $1,100 I can get a rifle that needs nothing (they start at $700, but I like the fancy ones). Your choice!

[@ArkyVarminter]

@@gregpace4676 I'd rather have the USA Remington 700 over a TIKKA>>>>>>

[@alphasierrasierrabut69]

Great content as always but just some constructive criticism. The music in the background is a little off putting and IMO just doesn’t fit the video. Of course just my personal taste but I always enjoy the videos. Great vid.

[@alphasierrasierrabut69]

I should also clarify it is the “jingle” music in the beginning of the vid.

[@UltimateArms]

I appreciate you watching and I’ll keep your feedback in mind for future videos.

[@wesley-m8e]

i think i would stick with my 783 alot better rifle. thanks for the review!!

[@UltimateArms]

I hear ya, the 783 is a great rifle. Thanks for the comment!

[@markt5450]

5R rifling?

[@gregpace4676]

5 grooves with radiused edges in the rifling

[@ben7111]

Remington 700 is my favorite rifle. They really piss me off by not factory floating their barrels. Why Remington

[@adamshaw8214]

Weatherby does not either. They are still extremley accurate. Dont worry about that aspect.

[@jzmafiaa5468]

I got one at Walmart 2019 for 300 bucks

[@UltimateArms]

nice. and hows it working for you?

[@jzmafiaa5468]

@@UltimateArms love it got my first deer with it. I threw the scope it came with and rails in the garbage put a vortex diamond back and cut out the stock to put a magpul mag well bottom. And did some free floating shoots good

[@shelly-v3d]

i dont know if it would be buying at that price for what you get!!

[@UltimateArms]

same

[@craig5649]

I have a 700 BDL mountain rifle that doesn't shoot for sh!t. Beautiful, stainless laminate. It's just not reliable past 200.

[@UltimateArms]

That's a shame! I've seen some shoot very well. Maybe try some different ammo?

[@stevenmiddagh6265]

I'll stick with Browning

[@UltimateArms]

i do like the AB3 rifle. love a walnut stock. thanks for the comment and dont forget to subscribe!! enjoy the browning!!

[@shaylneoozeva6260]

My son bot the same model in a 3006 saddenly the trigger guard was plastic tightened it too much before we shot it and broke it so we ordered a Boyd's stock ten round clip it shoots alright they make toys tougher than that we bot it for 826 $

[@UltimateArms]

and thats the sad part you shouldnt have to. if that stock was made better with a better guard

[@eugenebatiste]

It’s a timney trigger. The new m700s come out of the factory with timney triggers. But it comes with nothing. 😂 .3in groups- what gives?

[@UltimateArms]

What .3

[@TODinWY]

Wish you'd get away from the creepmore. What a ho-hum cartridge. Good review, though.

[@UltimateArms]

i buy one type of ammo, so that i'm not buying different types all the time. thanks for the comment

[@PassivePortfolios]

The 6.5 Swedish has taken all kinds of game worldwide since it was created, over 125 years ago. Nothing. ho-hum above it. The 6.5 Creedmore is identical in performance.

[@TammyScap1]

they make good rifles, but i wouldnt buy this one for that price. thanks for the review

[@UltimateArms]

Yeah I hear ya, I was surprised by the price myself

[@freecitizen7372]

Remarms is not Remington. Remington went out of business in 2018. Remarms is a new company that purchased the blueprints and factory and licenses the name Remington from Vista Outdoors.

[@Johnny-y7j]

I have the ADL Stainless Steel in 30-06 and 500 yards 1/2 inches gropes!! I have $550 in the rifle and my came with a cheep factory scope and I took it off and put a 4x12x40 Vortex Tactical Scope and I don’t regret! This is USA dollar!!

[@UltimateArms]

That's an amazing group at 500 yards!

[@rodneybumgarner5514]

A plain 700 action is 500-600 dollars.

[@UltimateArms]

is that in the US?

[@ULFISHGETTER]

@@UltimateArmsI can get this rifle for 499 American ish. A stainless sps is like 800. That’s tikka territory. Remington banking off their name.

[@barneygo2010]

After watching this thoroughly evaluated review and others by Epik Arms, I found a Black Friday Sale 700 ADL for $776 CDN . Out the door with taxes it was $877 CDN. It’s got a 24” 308 barrel and I’m pulling it off tomorrow so that I can install my beloved go-to .22-250 barrel that absolutely loves 55 grain VMax handloads. It’s my tried and true .22-250 barrel that delivers the goods! Thanks for the fabulous reviews! Yeah the ADL stock and its hardware will be up for sale and so will the barrel. As many of the commenters mentioned, I only want the receiver for the next build project. And that’s the joy of buying these actions. This is my number 5 Remmy action / rifle since I’ve got these in ; .223 and .243 and 6.5 Creepmore and .308 Varmint and now , 22-250 sporter barrel. As the title says, a “basic hunting rifle,” I can install my hunting .22-250 barrel and add all sorts of aftermarket stocks and scope and Robert’s your dad’s brother! Similar to a Harley Davidson motorcycle, all the accessories out there will make this rifle your very own. I’ve even bought cheap $40 SPS factory stocks and “Dremel’ed” a Magpul Hunter stock DBM magazine kit to fit and work well with the family of AICS magazines. Lately I’ve been watching all sorts of videos on how to customize this $40 factory stock with Krylon rattle can paint so that my stock will resemble a McMillan GAP camo stock without paying a $1000 USD and then mailed to Canada! Good enough for the girls I go out with. Yeah this rifle was an Ilion NY made right, but I do my own tweaking and I have a craftsman gunsmith near me who owes me piles of favours since we help each other lots! Life is Good!! Peace Be The Journey!

[@UltimateArms]

in the end its personal preference. some people like them some dont. its up to the person that wants a certain rifle.

[@michaellewis5624]

I have had several 700's over the years in many different calibers. Never could get the accuracy I wanted. 1-2 inches with 2 being the best for many of them. There are many better options for the same money. No more 700's for me.

[@pitts3219]

It’s a Walmart rifle at twice the price!

[@UltimateArms]

lol

[@ArkyVarminter]

There is not a thing wrong with that rifle. I would buy it before I would buy a Ruger american or Salvage axis...........

[@chriscunnane7596]
