A year or so later also bought a 700 ADL in .270 Winchester, which turned out to be one of the most accurate big game rifles I've ever owned.
Yes I had a Wood stock ADL in 30-06 before the syn. trend got started. That ADL
was 1 of 2 MOST accurate rifles out of the box I had owned. The other was a BDL
6mm Rem.
I know those were before 1986 because I moved in the Spring.
I’ve read that the ADL wood stocks were more rigid than the BDL and others
like them. I dunno.
