Thread: Tips to rebuilding an old Remington 700 ADL into a LR rig

I guess it depends. Do you like the current platform? I guess you are used to it now and it’s function and handling are well ingrained in your muscle memory. From that perspective, it is well worth rebarreling. It will get you back to the glory days of when it was shooting well, and likely give you some more performance to boot. And lower maintenance.
I personally like the Remington platform, and your old school action is likely to be a good one. So unless you really want something different, I’d stick with it.
Regards to trueing up the action, have a talk to the lads at True Flite. They’ll let you know if it’s worth the extra cash. I hear talk from some areas that for a lot of applications, not to bother. I trued an action once, and the reality wasI couldn’t shoot as good as the difference in accuracy the action work was possibly delivering.

Have at it
