The Model 700 BDL sporter configuration pairs a 22 in. sporter contour barrel with a 6mm Rem. chambering, combining classic lines with a flat-shooting cartridge. The barrel is rollmarked "REMINGTON ARMS CO. INC.
ILION, N.Y. MADE IN U.S.A. 6MM REM." and the rifle uses an internal magazine with a hinged floorplate for a 3-round capacity.
Factory open sights include a hooded ramp front and an adjustable rear leaf with a step elevator, providing a clear, traditional sight picture. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases and currently fitted with four plug screws, preserving flexibility for future setup.
The walnut Monte Carlo stock features a cheekpiece, crisp cut checkering, and a high-gloss finish. A black hard buttplate with a white-line spacer and a front sling swivel stud complete the period-correct BDL styling. Length of pull measures 13.25 in.
Notable mechanical and cosmetic touches include a jeweled bolt with a checkered/knurled knob. The RZ barrel date code confirms November 1975 manufacture in Ilion, New York, aligning with the rifle’s 1970s U.S. production and BDL series details.
