Remington Model 700 BDL Deluxe .300 Win. Mag. Bolt-Action Rifle – 1998 Long-Action Gunsmith Special
Made in January 1998, this Remington Model 700 BDL Deluxe pairs the classic three-rings-of-steel action with a long-action magnum receiver chambered in .300 Winchester Magnum. High-gloss bluing, a Monte Carlo walnut stock, and an engine-turned bolt body give it the premium BDL look, while the pre-J-Lock, pre-X-Mark-Pro configuration appeals to collectors and builders alike.

This rifle features Remington’s carbon-steel receiver and 24-inch barrel, both finished in high-gloss blue. The action is drilled and tapped for optics, offering a solid base for a hunting or target setup.
The stock is high-gloss walnut with cut checkering, a Monte Carlo comb, and a raised cheek piece. Length of pull measures 13.5 inches, providing a traditional fit for most shooters.
A 1:10 RH twist stabilizes heavy .300 Win. Mag. bullets, while the three-round internal magazine keeps the rifle sleek and balanced. The long-action magnum receiver and counter-bored bolt face exemplify Remington’s three-rings-of-steel design for controlled support of high-pressure cartridges.
With its detached bolt handle, this Model 700 BDL is a prime candidate for a custom build or faithful restoration. The excellent bore and desirable pre-safety-lock configuration give the next owner a strong foundation for turning it into an impressive shooter or collectible.
