Does Remington Still Make 700 Adl?
Yes, Remington still manufactures the 700 ADL. The ADL designation stands for “A deluxe model with a magazine.” This particular model was introduced in 1962 and discontinued in 2005.
It was replaced by the Model 700 SPS (Special Purpose Synthetic) which is still in production.
What Does Cdl Mean on a Remington 700?
A CDL, or Control Deck Latch, is a small metal latch located on the right side of the Remington 700’s receiver, just behind the ejection port. When engaged, it locks the bolt handle in place, preventing the bolt from being opened. The CDL is disengaged by depressing a small button on the left side of the receiver, just above and behind the trigger.
The CDL was introduced on the Remington 700 in 1968 as a safety feature. It was designed to prevent accidental opening of the bolt and possible injury if the gun were dropped or mishandled. Today, many shooters find the CDL to be unnecessary and prefer to disable it.
However, some competition shooters still use it as an extra measure of safety when shooting rapid-fire stages.
