Remington Model 700 BDL 7×57 mm Mauser Bolt-Action Rifle – 22" Blued, Walnut Stock, Tasco 3-9×40 Scope
Built in May 1990, this Remington Model 700 BDL pairs the classic long-range 7×57 mm Mauser chambering with the traditional BDL gloss walnut stock and polished blued steel. The rifle retains its original adjustable trigger, Monte Carlo stock profile, and hinged-floorplate magazine, and comes ready to shoot with a mounted Tasco 3-9×40 scope. Between the comparatively scarce caliber offering and the complete optic setup, it offers a turn-key package for hunters and Model 700 fans alike.

Remington cataloged the Model 700 BDL in 7×57 mm Mauser only from 1989 to 1995, making this chambering less common than the standard .30-06 or .270 variants. For shooters who appreciate the 7×57’s flat trajectory and mild recoil, this rifle delivers classic ballistics in a proven platform.
The BDL trim level adds visual appeal and practical touches: gloss walnut stock with Monte Carlo comb and cheek-piece, cut checkering for a sure grip, black fore-end tip, and white-line spacers. The polished blued finish on the 22-inch carbon-steel barrel and receiver complements the woodwork.
An original, pre-X-Mark Pro adjustable trigger lets you fine-tune pull weight without aftermarket parts. The bolt handle retains its round, checkered knob for positive manipulation, and the receiver is factory drilled and tapped.
A Tasco 3-9×40 scope is already mounted in steel rings on two-piece bases, providing a versatile magnification range suited to the 7×57 mm’s effective distances. With an internal 4+1 hinged-floorplate magazine and a 12.5-inch length of pull, the rifle is range-ready as it sits.
