What’s Included
- Remington Model 700 BDL Deluxe .30-06 rifle
The rifle is configured as a BDL Deluxe sporter with a 22-inch blued steel barrel and sporter contour. It is chambered in .30-06 Springfield and uses an internal 4-round magazine with a hinged floorplate for convenient unloading. The action is Remington’s two-lug design with a jeweled bolt and Walker-era trigger.
Factory open sights include a ramped front blade (no hood) and an adjustable folding rear, giving this rifle practical sighting without added equipment. The receiver and barrel both wear a matching blued finish over steel construction.
The high-gloss walnut stock carries signature BDL features: Monte Carlo comb with right-hand cheekpiece, sharp checkering, contrasting forend tip and grip cap with white-line spacers, and a buttplate with a matching spacer. Sling swivel studs are installed. Length of pull measures 13.5 inches.
Markings and dating cues include the barrel date code "EV" indicating October 1979, inspector/proof marks, and an A6-prefix serial number range consistent with late-1970s production in the United States. This configuration reflects the period-correct Walker-trigger era setup.
