What’s Included
- Two-piece Weaver-style scope bases (installed)
Remington introduced the BDL Deluxe trim to elevate the Model 700 with white-line spacers, a Monte Carlo comb, and a right-hand cheek-piece. This example retains all those factory details, plus sling swivel studs for easy field carry.
The 22-inch carbon-steel barrel sports a recessed crown to protect rifling and a ramp front sight with the hood removed. There is no rear sight, leaving the Weaver bases ready for the optic of your choice.
Inside, the original Walker-pattern trigger offers a crisp pull, while the hinged floorplate magazine holds four rounds of .243 Winchester. Remington’s three-rings-of-steel design surrounds the cartridge head with the bolt, barrel, and receiver for trusted strength.
A polished blued finish covers both barrel and receiver, complementing the glossy walnut stock. With a 13.5-inch length of pull, this rifle balances comfortably and maintains the classic lines that define the Model 700 BDL Deluxe.
