Tell us what you are looking to buy and we can tell you what Remington calls it.

Wood or synthetic?
Aluminum bed block or plain?
Stainless or Blued?
Heavy barrel, carbine, or tapered?
Caliber?
What are you going to use it for? Hunting, Targets, both? Small game or large?

Remington has named the same rifle with different accronyms for the sake of making it sound "cool", IMO.
They are all Rem 700's.
The only difference is what its made of and what its placed into.
The ADL is no longer manufactured. It has been replaced by the SPS. Special Purpose Synthetic.
Whats "Special"? Hype.
