On the other hand, my Remington 700 ADL is bone stock, and it left Ilion in 1983. It's a .308 and wears a Leupold VX1. Really, it's a standard hunting rifle, one of several in my locker.
All I really did to it is install the scope and sling. Even so, with a good handload, it'll stack them in an inch at 100 yards, and has been a very good friend in the game fields. I have other rifles, but I have a grandson who really likes that particular rifle. He's 13 now, and when we go shooting, this is the rifle he gravitates toward. He says he likes the way it feels in his hand, and he shoots it very well. (Don't tell him, but he's getting that rifle for Christmas.)
