Hey, you can get the remington bdl at wal mart for $405, and the winchester model 70 shadow synthetic for $425!! Look it up at walmart.com under sporting goods then special order rifles!  |

I found a Remington model 700 ADL in 7mm mag at Academy for $338 so I think I am going to go with it! Sounds like I can't go wrong with either caliber! Thanks again!

Well I went with the Remington 700 ADL in 7mm mag topped with a BSA Catseye 3.5x10x50mm with super high leupold rings! All for $444!!! It came with a hardcase and sling from Academy!!! I'll post a pic as soon as i can!

Man, that's a GREAT deal!! That's a little more than what it cost me to get my 700ADL in -06 setup, 6 years ago.
Later,
Dave

Well I've got to admit, my brother-in-law works there and got me 25% off on the scope and rings and 15% off the rifle! It pays to know people sometimes! I hope the BSA holds up to the mag! |

what is the best choice for distance and brush punching ability? Regardless of what you may have heard, there's no such thing. Brush will deflect a bowling ball if it's moving fast enough. Remington makes some good guns. But the best gun for the money, in my opinion, would be a Tikka or a Savage. |

Looks like you forgot to mention the Old Ugly Red Chicken brand.What worries me is the way Remington's quality and customer service has slipped over the last several years.I have a Rem 700 ADL in 270 which has proven to be a good rifle.It's about 8 years old.I would be hesitant buying a new Remington of recent mfg.That's just my opinion for what it's worth.
