[QUOTE="MajorSpittle, post: 1592653, member: 53101"] I have had a Winchester M70, Tikka T3 Lite, Ruger Mark II. I never considered buying a Remington because when I have looked at them in the store the triggers sucked and they felt cheap. I ended up buying an ADL 700 in 270 recently because it was a good deal. Well after I adjusted the trigger I really started to like it. Trigger doesn't move at all, just apply pressure and it fires. No creep, no over travel, crisp, and at a perfect weight for me. I have shot a couple different cheap boxes of ammo in it and the thing shoots both between .6-.8" at 100 yards off a bag. I had planned on rebarreling it to a 280AI but now I have to see what it will do. I am falling in love with this rifle, I was able to get a Magpul Hunter 700L stock and Magwell for the rifle and it only set me back $260. So many options and accessories that are not to expensive. If this was the first rifle I had ever bought it would have saved me a lot of money. My Tikka, Ruger, and Winchester have nothing on this rifle. I have shot Savage/Bergara rifles also. I will have under $600 into this rifle and it is better then my $800-$1000 rifles. I can rebarrel it to whatever I want and still be under $1000. I guess my point is, the other cheap rifles will be more expensive to turn into a nice rifle, if the can ever become a nice rifle. A cheap ADL 700 can become whatever a person wants, and for less money. [/QUOTE]
