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.
