Remington 700 ADL 6.5 Creedmoor Bolt-Action Rifle, Black - Model R85447

The Remington 700 ADL in 6.5 Creedmoor is a no-nonsense bolt-action rifle built for hunters and shooters who want proven accuracy without paying for features they won't use. The 700 is one of the most popular rifle platforms in North America for good reason—it's reliable, accurate, and easy to work on. The 6.5 Creedmoor delivers excellent ballistics for medium to long-range hunting, with minimal recoil and a flat trajectory that makes it forgiving in the field. This ADL model strips away the bells and whistles, giving you a straightforward, durable rifle in a clean matte black synthetic stock with a matte blue carbon steel barrel.

At 7.25 pounds, the 700 ADL carries comfortably all day without being so light that recoil becomes punishing. The 24-inch barrel gives you solid velocity and sight radius while keeping overall length (43 5/8 inches) manageable in thick cover or from a vehicle. The 13 3/8-inch length of pull works for most adult shooters; the stock geometry is designed for a natural sight picture and comfortable trigger reach. A 4-round magazine keeps things simple and reliable—no fussing with spring-loaded systems, just load, lock, and go. The 1:8 twist rate is optimized for stabilizing the wide range of 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition available today, whether you're handloading precision loads or running factory hunting rounds.

This is the rifle for hunters who value function over fashion: a practical, field-ready platform that's earned its reputation across elk country, prairie hunting, and long-range target work. The Remington 700 legacy means ammunition availability, aftermarket support, and genuine accuracy potential right out of the box—no gunsmith required unless you want to start experimenting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Remington 700 ADL good for long-range hunting?

Yes. The 6.5 Creedmoor is known for excellent ballistics and accuracy at distance, and the 700's proven platform gives you a solid foundation. The 24-inch barrel and 1:8 twist are well-suited to the cartridge's strengths. Many hunters successfully use this rifle setup for hunting beyond 300 yards. You'll want to add optics and practice, but the rifle itself is more than capable.

What's the difference between the ADL and other 700 models?

The ADL is the value-oriented version of the 700 line. It keeps the core action and accuracy you expect from a 700 but uses a synthetic stock instead of wood, a simpler finish, and basic iron sight provisions. You get the same reliable platform at a more accessible entry point—ideal if you plan to add your own optics and customize rather than pay for factory features you don't need.

What optics and mounts will work with this rifle?

The Remington 700 uses a standard dovetail or drilled and tapped receiver for mounting. You'll want to verify the specific mounting system available on your rifle's receiver and choose rings and bases accordingly. Any quality scope or red-dot designed for a standard rifle mount will work with proper alignment.

Does this come with a scope or sights?

The rifle ships without optics. You'll need to add a scope or other sighting system separately. The receiver is ready for standard rifle mounts.
