*SOLD* 1963 Remington 700 ADL Deluxe .243 20" *DESIRABLE FOR HUNTERS & COLLECTORS*

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:

The Remington 700 ADL Deluxe Carbine is a classic variant of the widely respected Remington 700 series, which has long been celebrated for its accuracy, reliability, and rugged design. The ADL (A Deluxe) configuration denotes a more budget-conscious model with a blind magazine (no floorplate) and generally fewer frills compared to the BDL (Better Deluxe) line, but the "Deluxe Carbine" variation brings a touch of refinement. This carbine version features a shorter barrel, typically around 18.5 to 20 inches, making it lighter and more maneuverable, particularly suited for hunters navigating dense brush or needing a quick-handling firearm. The walnut stock in the Deluxe trim often includes checkering and a gloss finish, enhancing both grip and aesthetics. Paired with the legendary Remington 700 action, which uses a dual-lug bolt and robust cylindrical receiver, the ADL Deluxe Carbine balances form and function in a practical, elegant package.
 
In terms of performance, the Remington 700 ADL Deluxe Carbine delivers the accuracy the 700 line is known for, aided by a free-floated barrel and a crisp factory trigger. While lacking some features like a hinged floorplate or detachable magazine, the blind magazine system is simple, durable, and contributes to the rifle’s clean lines. This model was typically chambered in versatile cartridges like .243 Winchester, .270 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, and .308 Winchester, making it ideal for North American game. Although Remington eventually phased out the ADL Deluxe Carbine in favor of synthetic-stocked models and newer variants, it remains a favorite on the used market. Its blend of traditional aesthetics, compact design, and dependable performance makes it a desirable rifle for hunters and collectors who appreciate classic American firearms with no-nonsense capability.
