Hanco’s rifle is a classic example but there are a couple of slightly different stock profiles, especially the fore end and fore end tip. It may or may not have “Remington Custom Shop” on the top of barrel, about half way to the muzzle. The blueing may be high gloss or slightly matte. I have examples of both fore end types, Custom Shop stamp and blueing finishes.
It’ll probably display better than average accuracy.

Mine is high gloss like Ramblers but has a recoil pad as opposed to the plate his shows. Mine is very accurate but so are my other 700s.

Mine are also, lot of people don’t like them, but I’ve always had good luck with the 20 or so I’ve owned.

Mine is 30-06. It is an early one, 1969. The profile of the stock is slender compared to my 1978 BDL. Not sure if the later ones are the same. Pic of them side by side.

Mine is a 1975 version in 30/06. Rosewood grip cap, foreend and crossbolt. High gloss walnut stock, recoil pad, and 24" bbl.

Shoots cloverleaf groups with 150gr or 180gr cup and core bullets......Sierra, Hornady or Speer. Never tried anything else.
