A few years back I didn't like the BDL's, but now I think they're kinda retro. The rifles they call Classics really aren't because the originals had a heckuva lot of drop to the stock to accomadate iron sights. They also didn't have recoil pads in the standard calibers. The straight comb they put on these rifles is actually something pretty new I think. Custom makers were probably doing it but not the manufacturers.
