I thought the stepped receiver the tell tale of the BDL.
No step meant somebody just put BDL wood (basketweave) on a regular.
I bought a worn .35 rem 760 a couple months ago.
Shot it before bought it.
3 shots at 25 yards w junky scope, into a .5" hole. Mag was messed up (stamped .35 rem).
Got the mag deal fixed, and popped a little 8 pt on the run with it.
Wanted the newer style 760 in .35 rem.........think they look better.
But am content with the older version.
