My buddy just dropped off a couple of rifles to me that he wants to sell (his father's estate). They are older 700 BDLs; one in .222 and the other in 22-250. Based on date codes, the 222 is circa 1965 and the 22-250 is 1981.
The 222 has rolled checkering and no jeweling on bolt. The 22-250 has typical poly finish and honking open sights. I forgot about rifles with sights and didn't know they originally came with rolled checkering.
