This is probably too broad of a question. How would I go about putting a heavier barrel on a Remington 700 ADL? I am aware that I would need a new stock to accommodate a larger barrel as well. Would this be better accomplished by a gunsmith? I usually do all of my own work on my guns, but precision rifles are a little new to me. Thoughts.

You could do a Remage barrel and do it yourself or have a gunsmith do a shouldered barrel.
Remage is a term, not a name. Any barrel threaded for your action, with a nut like a Savage. NOT a Savage nut, it's threaded different.
Then you just need the tools and head space gauges.
Call Northland Shooters Supply and tell them what you are looking to do. They have just about everything you need.

Edit to add. Otherwise, you will need a smith to do the work for a shouldered barrel.

Criterion Remage barrels are excellent in my experience. Just got an X-Caliber in the mail and I expect it to be as good. I think that with the state of technology it's unlikely any custom barrel will be a dud.
More than decent.
The best groups I’ve ever shot were prefits and I’ve hit steel way the hell out there with prefits.
You can look at Crown Ridge Barrel Works too. He uses Xcaliber blanks and stocks mtu contours. He does excellent work.
