700BDL 17Rem 25gr Hornady HP @4100fps. Tiny lightening!
Best checkering pattern ever used on the BDL and a smooth bolt knob to boot!!
Damn fine looking rig.
Love me a dead coyote.
I could be wrong but I believe that is actually a Remington 78. Same thing as a 700 but with the smooth bolt knob and I think it was more of a budget rifle. That, or it is a gun put together from parts and pieces as I don't think the 78 was offered in .17 Rem.
Their site says the Rem 78 had an unchecked stock...but I had a 78 in .25-06 for a while with the same bolt knob and checkering pattern as above, which Remington's site says never existed....so who the hell knows???
Weird glare or something on that pic. It’s a 700BDL from the first year they made 17s and has a checkered bolt knob. Used to have irons too but they wouldn’t clear the scope so came off. I got it from the old timer that bought it new.
It’s a killing machine.
Gotcha. That is a weird glare, for sure but I now see the bolt checkering and withdraw my earlier statement.
Fücker of the 10 gauge wimminz....my Mod 78 did not have a floor plate. It was basically a cheap metal and cheap wood 700 ADL. Looking closer at Kid's pic he does have a floor plate on his but it is barely visible in the first pic.
