That's not real wood. It's synthic that has a wood look. It's synthic dipped in a wood finish, like they did in camo finish. Looked at one at cabelas a couple of weeks ago. It's the same synthic stock disposed in a wood looking finish.

It seemed to be a little better stock then on the regular adl. If they had one in 300 win I would b probably bought one. Have a set of wood stock old adls in 22/250, 25/06, 270, and 7mm for my nephew and a 300 win would round out the set. It's a bought like the sps stocks a little better then the adl synthetic ones.

You said detachable magazine. Yes the floor plates on the remington bdls are metal but many of today's cheaper budget rifles have detachable magazines that are made of primary plastic. I have a ruger american and the magazine is properly 95 percent plastic. Also you don't have the chance of missplacing or breaking the detachable magazine. Had some remington 541/581 mags that simple unloaded themselves when fully loaded because the cheap plastic separated. Remington replaced.

I've had my .243 ADL since 1965 and reloaded mostly 75 gr hornady hollows for coyote and they seem to always have been good enough for a white tail. Son preferred 100 gr soft for deer.
In the 80's I learned the early ADL's, that must have the safety in - Fire - position to unload the magazine, could be modified to function as the newer ADL 700s with the safety on - Safe -. I never cared for the early magazine unloading feature so I modified it and it's had that mod. since then. That could, on a rare occasion, cause a missed shot but I'll take that chance anytime over a accidental discharge.
