"Discuss" is Facebook code for sell without actually saying it.What would you like to discuss about it? Tell us a little about it and I'm sure you'll get some comments.
BTW - You originally posted this in "Classifieds" when it belongs here. I moved it for you.
OTOH, if you actually wanted to make a sale with your first post, please read the rules. If you can't find them, start a private conversation with me and I'll send you a link.

Sorta what I thought would happen. I can only hope that the required effort to game the system around here left a bad taste in his mouth and he won't bother to come back.Still at 2 posts.
I don't think the OP really wants to discuss anything. Much less read and follow the rules.
Damn, i don't know weather to sit back and laugh with a nice "got em!", or be upset of your smack down on my rifle. Either way, nice work, and I still enjoy my rifle even if it's no 1,000 yd rifle. It works well enough for me at 100 yds with Fusion ammo. I don't know if it's just me or what, but it seems to do better with Fusion than Remington ammo.It's a newer model 700 ADL, with the factory stock, factory barrel, Cadwell bipod and a high mounted Bushnell scope.
Ya can buy one NIB from Cabelas via packaged deal for 450 bucks (sans bipod and high mounted scope as they stick w/ 40mm scopes on their combos, decreasing the HOB)
It won't make 400 yards shooting MOA even with custom reloads and is best used for the "receiver" only, which is the best part on it. The stock is Remington mickey mouse junk too flimsy for practical use, the barrel as noted is Remington and not known for it's accuracy using anything other than Remington bullets and even then in it's current state it qualifies only as a decent hunting rifle (with the rounds it prefers).
Best use for this rifle is as noted the receiver to be use in a custom built rifle.
I used a similar older 700 ADL '06 bought as a complete rifle for $300 at a gunshow a decade ago to build a custom Krieger barreled long range rifle that'll shoot 1/2 MOA out to 1200 yards.
ps - Ben was very polite and it appears after his comment ya did not even take the time to go back and read the rules atop the forum ya originally posted this in.........., my apologies for the honest assessment of your rifle, but I am very familiar with this particular firearm and what it is capable of when used - both box stock and fully customized. Spend around 2.5K on it, with a proper gunsmith and you'll have a rifle you will never want to sell that will drive tacks at any range using custom 175 grn SMK loads, but as it sets above it's simply a rifle capable of downing any critter in North America using factory Remington loads it likes at 200 yards by an above average shooter provided he ain't using the bipod on that flimsy stock.

For clarification, this is not my ad - I just own that same rifle.

I have one from the early 70's, but with the nice wood. I had a muzzle drilled into the barrel and a trigger job. I can shoot a tennis ball group at 300. Can't see very well past that range.
I think I could shoot the same group at 500 with better glass.
That muzzle break took 30% of the recoil off that mule kicker. Before that it would punish your shoulder.
Any rifle that leaves the factory without a muzzle on the barrel is defective. I would have returned it.

Good call on the nice wood on the BDL. It's a beaut. My 30-06 kicked like mule. I had a new trigger installed, around 3 lbs.
but the muzzle break milled into the barrel is the crown jewel of the gun. It literally took 30% of the recoil out of the gun. It's amazing the difference it made in accuracy. I have shot 3/4" groups with it.
