Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles what did i buy? strange caliber Rem ADL

i bought this remington 700 ADL in stainless CHEAP yesterday for the action but after thinking about it ive never seen a stainless ADL in 7mm Weatherby Magnum
it is real stainless not cerakote and appears all original to my untrained eyes except the stock
is this a real ADL ? i know its not a 700 classic

To the best of my memory, which isn’t very good, Remington didn’t make a chambering. In Weatherby 7 mag.

i remember a 700 classic in 7mm weatherby
this is a factory barrel and it appears correctly mated to the action from the factory, so maybe this one is a fluke? i just popped off a round with weatherby ammo with no issues except it thumps pretty good

I believe Remington made a limited run of stainless 700ADL for Cabelas a few years ago

it appears Remington did make a 700 stainless in 7mm Weatherby. but i dont think it was an ADL

They did make a stainless 7mm Wea. I believe it was a plastic stock.. My pal had one it would have been around 2000-2004

Mine did as well. He ended up rechambering it to a STW years ago though.

Yes my buddy has/had one in .270 with what appears to be a MTN Rifle contoured barrel and I called Rem and verified it was correct.

Not a stainless, but there is a fella up here selling a blued ADL in 7mm WM ..dom of 1982.

ADL

S prefix is for stainless. Action. Don’t know anything about the rest. It may be a factory BDL dropped into an ADL stock. Wouldn’t be the first to be converted. Lol.

My mid 80’s 700 mountain rifle in 270 is S prefix too. But it’s blued.

I’ve got two of them. Factory Remington, one has been converted to BDL floor plate and in a HS precision stock. Both shoot 3/4 MOA or better with 140 gr TSX.

Post up some pictures if you can. That’s pretty unusual. It should be B or C. What’s the barrel code?

Adl or not that doesn’t look like a factory stock I’ve ever seen.
I think in the early 2000’s they made a synthetic stock model
I used to really want a 700 classic in 7mm weatherby mag
Never found one sadly.

its not a factory stock its some weird thumbhole laminated queer boyds stock, main reason i got it cheap as in 325!

I've seen this ad. He's in my town. He's wrong on the year. I had a Classic 700 in 7 Wby. It was the 1991 Classic chambering.

And there will not be a Mid 80's Mountain Rifle with an S serial number. The MR was intro'd in 1986 with a B prefix.

youre right its a B upon closer look with my bifocals looked like a S to my old eyes

I would have bought it too
Good purchase
