The Model 700 ADL in .243 Win. will do fine for deer.

I have two ADL's, but in much heavier rounds (300 Win Mag. and 338 Win. Mag.). I did have the tiggers adjusted to 2 1/2#. I have shot the 338 only a handful of times. I have shot the 300 Win. Mag. 100's of times. Both rifles are extremely accurate. I have had zero issues with either. I suspect that you will have the same expereince should you go this route.

My daughter uses an older Rem. 788 in 243 Win. She uses Federal Premium factory stuff that is loaded with a 100 gr. Game King. This ammo happens to be about as accurate as my hand loads for her rifle. She has killed deer cleanly out to about 150 yards. Which is about it down this way as far as a "long shot".
