WesternmassmanRemington ADL conversion to BDL?
I have a older .280 remington ADL with a stainless mtn rifle barrel contour and factory stock that is pretty beat. The rifle strings shots as if there is a bedding problem.
I am contemplating trying a Remington BDL Custom KS Mountain Rifle replacement stock. Has anyone had experience with these?

Jim KobeBefore you spend all the money on a conversion try a few other things. First make sure the barrel is clean, really clean, no copper fouling. Next check to see if the barrel is floated, bolt handle touching the stock?, stock screws tight, middle screw lightly set, scope rings and bases tight, bad scope? It could be one or all of these. Did it shoot OK before?
It can only help to have it bedded correctly.

eddieharrenWith that rather slim barrel contour, I would suspect bedding also. If the stock is really beat up, you might consider the Kevlar option and a good bedding job.
