I'd like to have a little chat with whoever the bean counter is at Remington who decided to discontinue the 700 ADL. You know it's because they wanted to protect the price point of the 710, which has gotten fairly universal bad reviews.

Not sure where you're from, but here in Texas you can get a 700 ADL Youth for $318 at Academy every day. They also have a Howa youth model, with scope, for, I think, $389. (Howa is the same action as the Weatherby Vanguard.)

I got a deal on my ADL that was impossible to pass up. It was about a week after I had gotten my son's .243 sighted in. I loved the mild recoil. Bass Pro Shops advertised the 700 ADL in .243, .270, and .30-06 for $249. Impossible to pass up that price, regardless of caliber... I already had one in .30-06. The .270 is a virtual twin. And, I really "needed" a new rifle, so my son and I jumped in the truck and headed out to BPS to get me a .243. Traffic was bad, so we stopped at Academy to see whether they matched prices. They said yes. Academy's deal that week was $308, plus a hard case that retailed at $49. So, they matched the $249 price, plus gave me the hard case, which I needed anyway, so my effective price on the ADL was only $200...
