Really the big difference between ADL and BDL is the BDL has a floorplate and larger caliber selections. I prefer floorplates so I wouldn't even buy an ADL unless I was going to use the action as a donor. Great shooting guns after trigger is done..still don't like the fact the bolt doesn't lock when in safe and the stupid ISS system other then that a solid quality gun whose quality has gotten better in the last few guns I have looked at and purchased.
