Early 700 ADLs had no bolt jeweling. I’ll stick to those.

I dont know why this was such a big deal on this thread. I like the bolts jewelled. I have a rifle that is mint less this bolt wear. I could have it redone.
Maybe it 100.00 to do. I wouldnt do it for design purposes alone, more cosmetic for me
You know we will all lose are guns to Trudeau, because we fight over stupid #### like this.
 
I like Remingtons more then most. Finding minty ones from the 70’s and 80’s makes me happy.

I would like to know the value for a remington model 700 adl in 30-06. It's made in the 80's and in really good shape.

It's got the blind magazine and not the hinge like the bdl has so would that affect value at all?

Thanks

You're bringing me back in time. My very first bolt action rifle was the Remington 700 ADL, chambered in the 30-aught-six. I purchased it in 1985 with ring and scope for $250. Not that it would cost that today, probably more money, pending the condition.

So long as the jeweling is still on the bolt. That seems to be key.

It does affect the value. More wear on bolt to unload. Grade in order is CDL, BDL and ADL. 3006 is not that uncommon. Price is based on condition but no more the 800 if almost new in present market. NIB is different. Can be found cheaper but sell fast

Bolt wear affects price. Bolt diamond pattern finish wears with use.

Is that seriously an issue? I haven't noticed any difference in my ADL 243 I've had since 1975.
 
The jeweling is worn off top and bottom on my 700 BDL big 8, who cares as its not a safe Queen :)

jeweling is no issue, but it changes value if NiB is your thing. Its surface
Question.... what is jeweling for. anyone?

Mainly aesthetics. However, lubricants become trapped in the small scratches caused by the swirled pattern produced by a mild abrasive that's applied onto a bolt’s surface, and this enhances lubricity so that the bolt will cycle a little more smoothly.

yes, but jeweling was designed to hold deposits of oil to aid bolt.
The jeweling is as important to a collector, same as no stock damage etc. I want NIB like everyone.
There is a guy on here that has a cooey NIB for 1500.00 used..250.00
This thread started with question, What is value of my ADL
Thats it
