It's not often I upload a picture that is very much a WIP, but this is one of those times. A few people have seen this, and a couple even came all the way down to Texas to shoot it (now they all want one, of course) so, here it is. Keep in mind that the final product is going to look different, but by no means am I unhappy with where I am at currently.
Remington 700 Varmint .308 LH SA
Harris Engineering Hinged Base 9 - 13-Inch BiPod (with adapter)
Vortex Precision Matched Riflescope Medium 34mm Rings
Evolution Gun Works Picatinny Rail 20 MOA
Bushnell Elite 3.5-21x50mm Tactical Rifle Scope, Matte Black, G2DMR Reticle
BT05 - QK Accu-Shot® Precision Monopod - Mid-Range Locking version with QK02 Quick Knob
Tan Bolt Lift
Additional equipment to be added:
Grizzly Works Defcon1 Muzzle Brake
Magazine System
Secret Chassis System that I am not gonna name here :P
Like I said, still a work in progress and, if all goes well, it shall look drastically different from what it does now while still maintaining that beautiful accuracy. For those curious I currently shoot 150gr, I'll probably change over to 168gr at some point.

only question I have is: Can I touch it?

If you come visit, you can even go to the range with me and shoot it :p

I bought a standard remington 700 ADL in 30-06. I've heard bad reviews, but damn mine just can't be any smoother. Shells eject easily, no jams, bolt's smooth. Now I just need to put some money into maybe getting a more accurate barrel, tactical bolt like yours, and have fun with the stock

I'm not a large fan of the ADL series, I like the option of a hinged floorplate on the BDL since you can swap in a magazine system if you want. I've honestly not read many bad reviews on the 700 series, as it is basically an iconic rifle at this point (I'd even say more popular than the AR15 by those in the know and whatnot). Just be sure to use real brass and not steel casings and you should be fine with ejections. I dunno about a more accurate barrel, I've been getting sub MOA since pulling it right out of the box.

Mmmh I don't know. It seems like the barrel is pretty cheap and the reviews I've seen on it seem to point that way. I certainly haven't had any problems yet though. And yeah, it wouldn't be hard to switch over to a BDL with the ADL though. It's all about the stock at this point. I haven't been able to get very good groupings with the rifle, though I just recently upgraded from an old beat up scope to a brand new Zeiss so we'll see how well that one pans out. I'm pretty sure it was that crappy scope.

You can always rebarrel it, but as long as I keep getting sub MOA with what I have, I am pretty good with that.
