Little known fact that the short actions in the mid 80s were produced without sites. Yours falls into the era where I believe they reconsidered and stared adding them once again. My resources are packed away but will try and dig them out soon. Oddly, the early multi calibre year classics in short action came with sites!
 
I have four 700BDL's two light barrel 222 models they have sight holes and a heavy barrel 222 model that doesn't have any holes in the barrel and a 22-250 heavy barrell that is drilled for a scope blocks. Like what was posted it depends on the year of production.

Has the Remington Varmint contour barrels ever had sights from the factory?

Not the earlier heavy barreled Varmint Specials. Only the first 18 years or so the barrel was tapped for a 'scope block approximately where a rear site would be. As for the latter one; I've never seen any tappings but there may be the odd one. My interest drops off after the 90's.
 
Remington 700 BDL - No Sights ?

No, not that I have ever seen. They did come from the factory with a front scope block, Unertl Style, on the rear of the barrel for many years, and with another block on the front receiver ring, for same scope.
