...another misser of the 600/660s....
I preferred the 600 stock over the 660 but would have preferred the 18.5" barrel with the 660 sights...

The Mountain Guide.
The BDL Varmint Special.
The Classic.
Im glad to see more than a few here would like to see some good walnut and quality bluing. Include me.
Stop charging a thousand dollars for a standard barreled action in a Bell and Carlson stock.
I handled the new ADL anniversary edition at Grice Gun Shop. It aint no ADL throw back. More of an insult I still look for good used ones to pick up.

That's disappointing. From recent reports I was hoping.   Jerry

Was the question what rifles do you miss, or what rifles do you miss with?
Because I can miss with any rifle equally.

I've only had a couple or so 700 ADLs - pre '86 - BUT 1 was in 30-06. It was nearly EQUAL in accuracy to a BDL 6mm Rem. Those were 2 of the MOST accurate rifles I've ever owned. The BDL 6mm's 'slightly' better accuracy MAY have been from lack of recoil. I've read that the ADL advantage was more rigid stock NOT having the cut out for the floor plate. I dunno, but that was an amazingly accurate rifle. It was also fairly light weight. Jerry

My findings as well Jerry. I had a BDL varmint special in 6mm. Shot a pile of whistle pigs with it. I had a pair of 6mms Remingtons at the time. The BDL and a No 1B Ruger. The 22/250 is my sweetheart for varmint hunting,but the 6mm Remmy is no slouch.

The Academy in my area has a few of the limited run 700ADL rifles on clearance for $499. Wood stock has checkering like the early 60s 700ADLs but its pressed. Not as eye catching as the older ADLs, but better looking than the SPS and ADL synthetics.

I got rid of my last Remington some time ago, and don't miss any of them. I prefer Ruger 77s and several European brands to Remingtons.

would have to be Model 7 FS, a ton of rifle for the money.
Then the model 600, pictures of them remind me of a picture of a late 60's muscle car, all raw performance and ignoring refinement, but simplistically elemental in their function.
