I’ve got a300win mag bdl that was purchased with my money under my dads name (I was only 16 at the time) I still have the old warhorse Original stock original trigger and barrel. Still shoots around and inch or so at 100. Could have been the only hunting rifle I ever NEEDED but of course we ALL know how that goes

Looking good! And, ingwe, speaking of something new, I picked up my dad's barreled action from the gunsmith today that wears the new .243 barrel you damned-near gave to him. Thanks again.

I still have my BDL from 78 in 243 the barrel is getting tired but it still gets it done. The perfect antelope gun Redfield 1.pc base and rings m8 6x36 it's the best f*ck the rest. Mb

Nice looking rifle, especially when compared to all the plastic we see nowadays. I'm becoming a fan of the 243 too.

Killed my first deer and first antelope with a Rem 700 BDL in .243 Got a nostalgic craving and since I can't afford the muscle cars I drove when young, I put this together... Got a 22" factory barrel with sights, cerakoted, from a member here. Went out and bought a new " donor", put an old school Walker trigger in it and found a vintage 60s BDL stock....Bedded it, plopped a Burris 3x9 FFII on top and voila! The bonus is the MoFo shoots better than my first one those many years ago! Nice rifle Tom - not sure I've seen a BDL without the white spacers and like the looks of it.

Jerry this one actually HAS the white line spacers, they've just yellowed with age, but the bowling pin finish on the stock is still pretty good after 60 0dd years!

I still have my '70s 700 BDL 300 Win Mag. It is a very good rifle and is still right at 1 inch at 100 yds. Like others it has taken a back seat to others. I also have a '60s Sako Finnebear in .270. It is a great rifle also. Have a great day. Jim
