Let's see your rare Remington 700 BDL

[1899]

I suspect there are some folks who collect Remington 700 BDL rifles - not as cool and popular as pre-64 Model 70's, but there are some nice ones out there and the prices are usually reasonable. There were a couple on the EE not long ago that were mighty tempting - Carbine in .280 and a Custom C Grade in .270 Win.

The only one that I ever had was a C Grade in .375 H&H with a bull barrel - it would have made for a really nice set with that C Grade .270 Win.

I have the 20" 280 and 2 7mm-06s. Pic when I remember my photobucket info. Won't let me log in!

That's some nice wood on that 700 1899.

I've had this "C" .375 twice; traded for it, sold it and bought it back.

Dogleg - they sure are nice, and a pussycat to shoot with that barrel contour.

Yeah, its sort of like thistle-down settling. I'm favoring my M70 Alaskan now, it s just a bit over 8 pounds scoped. Lighter than one of my .270 Featherweights believe it or not. Tiny bit heavier than the other.

I wouldn't call it rare....more uncommon I suppose.

Love the .222 Rem Mag as well. Beautiful wood on a classy HB too.

Have one that is at least "medium rare".
A second year production( 1963) 700 BDL with the then standard barrel length of 20 inches in .222 Remington Magnum.
Will try to post a photo.........

Pete G, that is a sweetie of a rifle!

Not rare, but vintage. 1979 700 BDL, looking at the catalog from that year this would be the "Varmint special." It is a heavy barrel .308 Win. The scope is a 1977 Leupold fixed 20x.

Both are factory chamberings . I really hate fotocan! Try to upload and then post here and can't get my head around it right now. Someone really should come up with a much much easier way to do so!
