BDL, 30-06 best all around combination going for a fair price.

 

[joe.l]

fair price ?

what would be a fair price for one in good shape ? thanks Joe

 

[todbartell]

yes, and $550

 

[NAA]

yes, and $550

That would be an excellent price for a Rem 700 BDL in excellent condition.

... nice rifles, very accurate.

Agreed. The 700 BDL was the Cadillac of it's day. And still a nice rifle to own...

 

[Amphibious]

never seen a remington that didn't shoot well, sometime you get one that shoots REALLY well:

It would be hard to go wrong with any of those calibre choices in a 700 BDL, but I'd go with 30-06. Nice rifles.

New or Used?
If you are looking at new, IMO they are very overpriced and should be priced more in line with Savage, since I resent having to take my new rifle to a 'smith to properly bed the action and make BOTH the lugs bear. You can do quite a bit of pimping to them, so if you want to change this or that later, the sky is the limit.

Never heard of it....

What kind of rifle is it?

Normally I'm advocating Winchester Model 70's and Ruger M77's but I have a couple Remington 700's that are a joy to behold So...I have to jump in and say get a BDL in .30-06 if moose are an annual hunt. If it's for caribou and smaller size game for the most part, get a .270Win. You just can't go wrong with either one however

I found the 700 sps stainless is a better value than the BDL in stainless.. Nicer stock, costs less. No matter what you decide, I suggest avoiding DM models and go only stainless. my 2 cents

My first 700 in .30-06 has been great. So has the .22-250, 243, 270, 280 and .338 Winchester. I would still opt for the .30-06 as the 180 grain will do virtually everything - RIGHT!
