Remington Model 700 ADL .222 Rem Bolt-Action Rifle, 24" Sporter Barrel, 1972, Walnut Monte Carlo Stock, Weaver K6 6x Scope
This 1972 Remington Model 700 ADL in .222 Rem is a classic short-action, blind-magazine rifle paired with a vintage Weaver K6 60-C fixed 6x scope. It features a 24" sporter-contour barrel with a factory ramped front sight base, a jeweled bolt body, and a high-gloss walnut Monte Carlo stock. The barrel date code "BF" indicates January 1972, and the rifle retains its blued finish and period-correct configuration.
The ADL configuration provides a clean profile with a blind internal magazine and a 5+1 capacity. The Weaver K6 scope installed sits in Weaver 1" rings on Weaver bases, offering a straightforward, fixed-power optic with a standard crosshair reticle. Made in the United States, this rifle represents a well-detailed early-1970s Model 700 setup in a classic varmint cartridge.
