Remington Model 700 BDL Deluxe Carbine .243 Win Bolt-Action Rifle, 20" Barrel
This early-production Remington Model 700 BDL Deluxe Carbine pairs the classic 20-inch “Carbine” barrel with the deluxe BDL feature set, making it a compact yet highly appointed hunting rifle. Factory iron sights, uncommon on later models, remain intact, and factory scope mounts are already installed for quick optic setup. A gloss-finished American walnut Monte Carlo stock with skip-line checkering and white-line spacers rounds out a package that blends traditional styling with proven Remington 700 performance.

The 20-inch barrel keeps overall length manageable while still delivering the ballistic performance hunters expect from the .243 Winchester cartridge. Combined with the push-feed 700 action and a 4+1 internal magazine, the carbine balances quick handling with dependable feeding.
Deluxe BDL trim includes a gloss walnut Monte Carlo stock, raised cheek piece, skip-line checkering, and contrasting white-line spacers at the grip cap and buttplate. These details add visual appeal and provide a secure, comfortable hold in the field.
Factory iron sights remain on the barrel—an uncommon feature on later 700s—giving shooters immediate sighting options. The receiver is drilled, tapped, and fitted with scope mount bases, simplifying optic installation without additional gunsmithing.
The rifle retains its original matte blued finish on both barrel and receiver. A hinged floorplate speeds unloading, and the Walker-pattern trigger offers the crisp break for which early Model 700s are known.
