[QUOTE="HellsCanyon, post: 682405, member: 50929"] I'm right there with WildRose on the upgrades. Your 700 ADL is a great platform to build off of! If you plan on reloading and don't yet have equipment, save up and buy it now. You can shoot factory ammo with solid results, but its expensive and being able to shoot better ammo for cheaper will lead you to more practice. Follow that up with a good pillar-bedding job or upgraded stock and a trigger job should have your rifle shooting as good as its going to with the current barrel/action setup. Definitely get glass that has a good reputation for tracking (best you can afford). Nothing worse than not being sure of your actual click value or unsure of your rifles ability to return to zero. You'll start second guessing your dope when you miss instead of focusing on you and your shooting techniques. The thing I strive for in any rifle combo is to give the shooter nothing to blame but themselves for a miss! Best of luck to you! Mike [/QUOTE]
