The BDL Varmint Special configuration brings a heavy-contour, 22-inch barrel chambered in 6mm Rem with no open sights, optimized for precision shooting with optics. It uses a long-action internal box magazine with a hinged floorplate, providing 4+1 capacity. The receiver is drilled and tapped, and this example has two-piece scope bases already installed.
The stock is a gloss-finished walnut BDL pattern with a Monte Carlo comb and cheekpiece, impressed checkering, a beavertail fore-end, black fore-end tip, and white-line spacers. It is fitted with sling swivel studs and a Remington-logo buttplate. Length of pull measures 13.25 inches.
Mechanically, it reflects hallmark Model 700 features, including the recessed bolt face and counterbored breech often described as the three rings of steel. The bolt body is engine-turned (jeweled), and the bolt knob is checkered/knurled for secure manipulation.
Markings include "Remington Model 700" on the receiver and "6MM. REM." and "Made in U.S.A." on the barrel. The barrel date code "AS" indicates March 1969 assembly. There are no front or rear sights, and the rifle was manufactured in the United States.
