I'm looking into picking up a new rifle for my daughter to start hunting with. I have settled on a 6mm Rem due to having one I very much enjoy and already loading for the cartridge.

I have two options in the works that are available. One being a BNIB 80's Rem 700 ADL Matte Blued, synthetic stock, the other being a newer production Model 7 SS synthetic that are within $50 in price of each other.

Truthfully I'd love to have both and keep one for myself but likely will be just grabbing one.

I'm leaning toward the ADL from the NIB standpoint as this will be a rifle that my daughter will hopefully have for life. On the other hand the Model 7 is going to have the BDL style magazine and is stainless which offer benefits of their own.

Which way would you go and why?
