Was the Remington 700 BDL ever made in .223

In a sporter and not varmint version?
Thanks, Rob.

Yes, #25798.

 

[Rembo]

I had at least two of these over the years.

I don't understand why they won't do it again.

Does everyone love heavy barrels so much that a standard weight sporter won't sell?

That has been my dilema for years.... trying to find a nice, lightweight, walk around type of 223... so far no luck.

What a Tikka t3 lite hunter in 223 is not light enough for you..?

Sounds like it should work...?

Uhh don't they make a CDL 223?

 

[Rembo]

Kimber??

Or, search out a Sako L461 or AII....nice little scaled down action, perfect for the 223.

Really like Rem 700's anymore and have a semi custom 1-8" .22-250 heavy barrel bedded in a BDL sporter stock. Would like a sporter barrel .223 or .204 BDL (Blued and wood) in a big way.
