This rifle isn't just another hunting tool; it's a testament to Remington's enduring legacy of building accurate and dependable firearms. The Model 700 ADL Varmint Synthetic combines the economical yet robust ADL (Anonymous Dealer Line) configuration with a heavy contour barrel, creating a synergy of precision and practicality. Whether you're a farmer battling nuisance varmints, a dedicated predator hunter pursuing coyotes and bobcats, or an enthusiast seeking tight groups on the paper at extended distances, this rifle is designed to empower your success.

The Heart of Accuracy: Performance-Driven Features

The Remington 700 ADL Varmint is meticulously crafted with features that directly translate to superior performance and durability in the field. Every component is chosen to contribute to its overall precision and rugged reliability.

The Legendary Remington 700 Action: Three Rings of Steel

At the core of this rifle's unwavering accuracy and safety is the iconic Remington Model 700 bolt action. This receiver is machined from solid-steel bar stock, providing a rigid, stable platform for consistent shot placement. The Remington 700's reputation for smooth operation and unfailing reliability is unparalleled, making it a favorite among hunters and competitive shooters worldwide.

A hallmark of the Model 700 design is its "three-rings-of-steel" safety feature. This innovative engineering means the cartridge case head is completely enclosed by the recessed bolt face, which locks up inside the counter-bored breach of the barrel, all of which is surrounded by the robust receiver. This concentric design forms a steel barrier around the cartridge, offering an extraordinary level of strength and safety, effectively containing any potential high-pressure events. This robust construction provides peace of mind, allowing shooters to focus entirely on their target. Furthermore, the receiver comes factory drilled and tapped, simplifying the process of mounting your preferred optics. This crucial feature ensures a secure and precise interface for scopes, which is paramount for achieving accuracy at the extended ranges common in varmint and long-range shooting. The matte blued finish on the receiver not only adds to its rugged aesthetic but also provides a durable, non-reflective surface, ideal for field use.

Optimal Caliber for Varmint & Long-Range: .22-250 Remington

The .22-250 Remington is a truly remarkable cartridge, celebrated for its flat trajectory, blistering velocity, and devastating effectiveness on small to medium-sized game. This cartridge launches lightweight, high-velocity bullets that minimize holdover at extended ranges, making it an ideal choice for varmints that can appear suddenly at varying distances.

Why choose .22-250 Remington for your hunting or target shooting needs?

• Exceptional Velocity: The .22-250 Rem is one of the fastest .22 caliber cartridges available, delivering incredible muzzle velocities that ensure minimal time to target and reduced wind drift.
• Flat Trajectory: Its high velocity translates into a very flat shooting trajectory, simplifying aiming at long distances, especially crucial when shooting at small, elusive targets like prairie dogs or groundhogs.
• Devastating Terminal Performance: While designed for smaller game, the sheer speed and energy of .22-250 bullets deliver quick, humane kills, making it highly effective for predator control.
• Manageable Recoil: Despite its impressive performance, the .22-250 Rem offers relatively mild recoil, allowing for comfortable extended shooting sessions and quicker follow-up shots.

This caliber, paired with the precision of the Remington 700 ADL Varmint, creates a formidable combination for anyone serious about accuracy and ethical hunting.

Precision Barrel Design: 26" Heavy Threaded Carbon Steel

The 26-inch heavy contour barrel is a cornerstone of this rifle's varminting prowess. A heavy barrel offers several distinct advantages critical for precision shooting:

• Enhanced Accuracy: The increased mass of a heavy barrel reduces barrel whip and vibrations, leading to superior shot-to-shot consistency and tighter groups.
• Improved Heat Dissipation: During prolonged shooting sessions, such as those encountered in prairie dog towns, a heavy barrel absorbs and dissipates heat more effectively, preventing accuracy degradation due to barrel heating.
• Reduced Recoil: The added weight of the barrel contributes to the rifle's overall mass, helping to mitigate felt recoil and improve stability.

Crafted from durable carbon steel with a matte blued finish, the barrel is built to withstand rigorous use and resist corrosion. The 26-inch length is optimized to maximize the velocity potential of the .22-250 Remington cartridge, ensuring you get the most out of every round. Crucially, the barrel is threaded with a 1/2"x28 pattern, making it ready for a variety of muzzle devices, including suppressors or muzzle brakes. This feature is highly sought after by modern shooters for noise reduction and recoil management. With a 1:14" twist rate, this barrel is ideally suited for stabilizing the lighter bullet weights typically used in .22-250 Remington, ensuring optimal accuracy with common varmint loads.

Durable & Ergonomic Stock: Black Synthetic with Beavertail Forend

The Remington 700 ADL Varmint features a black synthetic stock designed for rugged durability and practical ergonomics. Synthetic stocks are highly resistant to weather changes, moisture, and impact, making them an excellent choice for hunting in diverse environments where wood stocks might warp or swell.

The stock is equipped with a vented beavertail forend. This wider, flattened forend provides an exceptionally stable platform when shooting from a rest, bipod, or sandbags, which is essential for consistent accuracy in varminting scenarios. It also offers improved comfort and a more natural grip, especially when shooting from prone positions. The stock is a fixed design, prioritizing robustness and simplicity. Integrated sling studs allow for easy attachment of a rifle sling, making transportation in the field comfortable and convenient.

Reliable Ammunition Feeding: 4+1 Internal Box Magazine

The rifle incorporates an internal box magazine with a 4+1 capacity (four rounds in the magazine plus one in the chamber). This internal design, without a hinged floor plate, contributes to the rifle's robust and streamlined profile. It reduces potential points of failure, minimizes the chance of dirt or debris entering the action, and offers a flush fit that doesn't snag on clothing or brush. This simple yet effective feeding system ensures reliable cycling of ammunition, crucial when quick follow-up shots are needed in dynamic hunting situations.

Frequently Asked Questions about Varmint Rifles & the Remington 700

• What makes a rifle good for varmint hunting? A good varmint rifle typically features a heavy barrel for accuracy and heat dissipation, a high-velocity, flat-shooting caliber like the .22-250 Remington for extended ranges, and a durable, stable stock. Precision and reliability are key for consistent results on small, often distant targets.
• How does the "three-rings-of-steel" system enhance safety? The "three-rings-of-steel" design in the Remington Model 700 provides maximum containment of the cartridge during firing. The bolt face, barrel breech, and receiver form concentric rings of steel, completely enclosing the cartridge head. This robust design is a critical safety feature, containing high pressures even in the unlikely event of a case rupture.
• Can I put a suppressor on the Remington 700 ADL Varmint? Yes, absolutely. The 26" heavy barrel of the Remington 700 ADL Varmint is factory threaded with a 1/2"x28 pattern. This is a common threading for .22 caliber firearms and allows for the direct attachment of compatible suppressors or muzzle brakes, enhancing your shooting experience through reduced noise and recoil.
• Is the .22-250 Remington suitable for deer hunting? While the .22-250 Remington is extremely effective for varmints and predators, it is generally considered too light for ethical deer hunting by most standards, especially for larger deer species or at longer ranges. Its primary strength lies in its speed and flat trajectory for small-bodied game.
• What kind of optics should I pair with this rifle? Given its precision and long-range capabilities, the Remington 700 ADL Varmint pairs exceptionally well with a high-quality scope featuring variable magnification, a clear objective lens, and precise turrets for elevation and windage adjustments. Many shooters opt for scopes with a minimum of 9x or 12x magnification on the high end for varminting. Since the receiver is already drilled and tapped, mounting a scope is straightforward.
• Why is an internal box magazine preferred by some shooters? An internal box magazine offers a sleek, flush-fitting profile that reduces the chance of snagging on clothing or brush, particularly important when navigating dense terrain. It's also known for its robust construction, as there's no detachable magazine to lose or get damaged, contributing to the rifle's overall reliability in harsh conditions.
