I just bought an inexpensive ADL and it shot OK out of the box (1.5-2.0 inch five shot group at 100 yards). Mine had a really stiff (but crisp) trigger and a lot of pressure on barrel from a "warped" forend. I've adjusted the trigger down to three lbs (yes, Remington 700 trigger are easily adjustable, as are pre-accutrigger Savage 110s and many other rifles) and free floated the barrel. I really like the stock design on these rifles and the matte finish is good for practical hunting, especially for coyotes and other predators (mine is a .243). The wood stocked Rem. 700 often need glass bedding to shoot well; this doesn't seem to be an issue with most synthetic stocks (the action in mine fits the stock very well). With a little tuning, most 700s can be very accurate rifles. I can't wait to get mine back to the range and see if there is any improvement... If not then I'll have to bed the action and fire lap the barrel...
