Introducing the Remington Model 700 BDL, a bolt-action rifle that embodies the perfect blend of tradition, craftsmanship, and precision. Manufactured in 1973, during one of Remington's most productive periods, this firearm represents a unique piece of American firearm history. The Model 700 BDL is the “Deluxe” variant of Model 700, a step above the average sporting versions. It features a more refined finish, superior wood, and additional features that set it apart.
In good condition, this rifle shows some signs of prior use and handling. The wood stock with pressed checkering and black forend tip and grip cap enhances the aesthetic appeal of the firearm. The metal parts of the gun are coated with a blued finish, a traditional protective layer to prevent rusting and improve its overall look.
The .30-06 caliber is a classic and versatile hunting caliber, widely used throughout the 20th century. The bolt-action mechanism ensures precision and reliability, a characteristic Remington is renowned for. The 4+1 capacity means it takes four rounds in the magazine and one in the chamber, providing balanced power and design.
The rifle is equipped with a front ramp sight with hood and adjustable rear with U notch, perfect for precision shooting. It also includes a Redfield Accu-Ranger Revenge 3-9x42 scope, a brand owned by Leupold, that was likely added after the original purchase. The scope's accu-plex reticle and 1/4 MOA turrets enable precise adjustments and accurate long-range shooting, enhancing the overall performance of the firearm.
With the purchase, you will receive a bonus soft case for easy carrying and protection. Owning this Remington Model 700 BDL from 1973 offers an authentic piece of American firearm history and a fantastic addition to any firearm collection. Its impeccable balance of tradition, craftsmanship, and performance makes it an appealing choice for any gun enthusiast or collector.
