[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 56394, member: 10"] Greenhorn, All the Rem 700 actions are the same in basic design. The only real difference is the bottom metal work and how the mag box attaches or sits under the action. My personal favorite for building my extreme accruacy big game rifles is the Rem 700 ADL in which ever bolt face suits your needs best. I like these over the BDL models simple because the stock on the ADL has the solid bottom and is much stiffer and more rigid then the open bottomed BDL. This does make a difference in accuracy and consistancy. Age wise, its hard to tell, I have seen good dimensional actions in both old and new and have seen bad ones in bothas well. One they have been full accurized they are all the same top quality so I really do not waste to much time looking for a specific action. If you are going to build an extreme range rifle on the 700 I would recommend converting it to single shot by fitting a solid bottom plate to the action. The ones I use perfectly match the bottom contour of the action and greatly increase the bedding area of the bottom of the action if the rifle is to be bedded in a conventional manor. If a Barrel Bedding V-Block System is to be used, this does not matter much as the entire action will be free floated anyway. If you will be building one of these single shots, any Rem 700 action will perform great once it is accurized. Your best bet will probably be to find a used BDL in left hand. Good Shooting!!
