I’ve had great success upgrading my Rem 700 ADL Varmint with a heavy barrel. It really tightens up the groups! Consider a quality aftermarket barrel for the best results.

Trigger upgrades make a huge difference too! I recommend the Timney trigger. It provides a crisp pull and can help reduce flinching.

I’m using a Jard trigger on mine and it’s fantastic! Very adjustable, and I can set it up just how I like it.

What’s everyone’s go-to ammunition for the Rem 700 ADL Varmint? I’ve had good luck with Hornady ELD-X, but I’m open to suggestions.

I swear by the Federal Gold Medal match. It’s pricey but worth it for accuracy!

Make sure your rifle is properly bedded too! A good bedding job can enhance accuracy significantly. Has anyone done this themselves?

10

That’s a great point! I did a DIY bedding on mine, and it worked wonders. Just be patient with the process!

11

Another thing to consider is the stock. Upgrading to a chassis system can greatly improve stability and handling. Anyone tried it?

12

I stuck to the factory stock, but I’m curious about those chassis systems. They look so sleek! Do they really improve accuracy?

13

Definitely! A stiffer stock helps with recoil management. But maybe it’s not for everyone? What do you all think?

14

I can’t afford all these upgrades; can I still get decent performance with just good ammunition and a trigger job?

15

Definitely! Many people have great accuracy with minimal upgrades. Just find the right ammo for your rifle’s preferences.

I’m glad you’re seeking advice! The Rem 700 ADL Varmint deserves a great scope. I recommend looking into the Vortex Viper HS-T 4-16x44. It offers excellent clarity and is really durable.

I’ve been using the Leupold VX-3i 4.5-14x40, and it’s been phenomenal for my Rem 700. The Twilight Max Light Management System is a game changer!

18

What magnification do you think is best for prairie dog shooting? I’m contemplating a fixed 10x or variable power.

19

Definitely go for variable power! The flexibility helps when you’re not sure how far the shots will be. The Nikon Prostaff 5 2.5-10x40 is a solid choice for the price.

I agree, but my budget is tight. Are there any decent scopes under $200?
