what is the difference between the Remington 700's (like the adl,sps,blah,blah,blah)? is it just that they have different stocks,triggers,barrels or what?
 
Re: difference between Remington 700 models?

I'm sure there is a thread or two on this but ADLs have a blind mag and no floor plate. BDLs and CDLs have a blind mag with a hinged floorplate. DMs have a detachable magazine. The SPS, VLS, and all of the other models are variations with different stocks, barrels, etc. Some, like the SPS, have a polymer stock. Other, like the VLS, have a wood stock with a 26" barrel and there are a number of other variations. If you hit the Remington site, the features for the various models are listed.

So if a guy was going to use the action for a build they are basically the same. The action and bolt are pretty much the same, right?
 
Re: difference between Remington 700 models?

Yep, they're the same unless you have a single shot 40X receiver.
 
Re: difference between Remington 700 models?

that's good to know i just need a barrel and action at this point then i will eventually replace the barrel with something better but i see no point in spending 700$ bucks on a sps tactical when I'm throwing away everything except the action lol dick's sporting goods sells Remington 700's for 400 bucks
 
Re: difference between Remington 700 models?

yep thats what i did. dicks by my house was closing, so i picked up an sps-v from them for like 350 out the door and used it for a donor action

will probably out shoot you and many others, many blame the factory bbls. Buy one and let the copper fill in the imperfections and have fun.
