24" remington 700 barrel question

I notice there are some place still selling 24" rem. ADL, what kind barrel are on those? does it have the same accuracy as the varmint barrel?

I know of two different ADL configurations that are out there right now (well, 3 if you count stainless steel) - sporter weight (both blue and SS) and varmint weight (I've only seen blue on those.) I've got 2 of the ADLs in SS with sporter weight barrels, one in .223 and one in .308. The .223 is a 12 twist, so it's kind of limited in bullet weight. The .308 is a 10 twist. Mine both shoot under an inch with many different loads after I replaced the stocks. Light barrels do heat up fairly fast, so it probably isn't going to be your next F class rig, but accuracy is excellent. I've read the same of the varmint weight ADLs - although I understand that on the .308 varmint weight ADL it is a 1 in 12 twist.

Essentially it seems like Remington has taken an SPS of some sort and ditched the floor plate and called it an ADL. Same top, different bottom.

ok thanks basically accuracy is about same, just the barrel flux and heat up bit more due to its thickness.?
