My dad has a .270 ADL rifle with a synthetic stock & matte finish. Its topped with a 3-9 Leupold and is an absolute tack driver. I guess he just got lucky, all he ever did was get the trigger adjusted down and it shoots factory 130gr core lock ammo at sub moa all day long. He even shot (2) 5 shot groups that were close to 1/2", which blows my mind. I know guys that have spent thousands on guns that won't do that...no idea why this one shoots so good - but no complaints!

Anyhow, the whole ADL loading is such a PIA...can you just find a BDL stock and swap it out? Will it work? I doubt he would ever do it...don't think he wants to touch it since it shoots so good, LOL - but I figured I'd ask.

Thanks
Loading isn't any different from one to the other. Unloading is. The upside is all the available aftermarket stocks you could pick from for
the BDL
