The forged steel receiver embodies Remington’s famed strength, while the jeweling on the bolt body adds a refined touch that sets this rifle apart from standard production examples.
Its 24-inch carbon-steel barrel wears a polished blue finish and a sporter contour, providing a good balance between rigidity and weight. The 1:14 twist rate stabilizes lighter .222 Rem bullets—a popular choice for target and varmint shooters.
The high-gloss walnut stock features a Monte-Carlo comb, cheek-piece, and crisp impressed checkering, delivering classic lines and a comfortable 13.25-inch length of pull. Remington’s blind 5-round internal magazine keeps the profile clean and maintains the ADL’s lightweight feel.
Factory iron sights are intact—a ramped front sight (hood not present) and open rear—while the installed Weaver bases allow quick mounting of optics without additional gunsmithing.
