I recently picked up an old ( I think its a 1969 make) Mod 700 (24" bbl) BDL. It had a ton of bullet fouling in it. After getting it all clean, etc it shoots very well. I can get the factory 120 Clkts into an inch-inch & quarter. I've only tried one handload so far, the 97gr Hammer. I can also get them into about an inch cluster, five shots. I'm going to try some 120 c&c and see how it does. So far, it has alot of promise. I like the "point and shoot, flat shooters alot. In past I've had a Mod 700 Classic and a couple more builds on Mod 700 actions, one was a take-off Mountain Rifle barrel that shot very well.
