For sale: Brand new left hand Remington Model 700 BDL, .243 Winchester. 22" barrel, open sights. Comes with box and paperwork, the paperwork hasn't even been unsealed.

Price is $599 shipped in the USA. First "I'll take it" gets it.

Money order or other certified funds only, no trades please. Three day inspection, if you don't like it for any reason you may return it in the same condition as received and I will refund the purchase price less actual shipping costs.

This has a C serial number and is one from the first run they made around 1990 and is still unfired. The metal is 100%, bolt shows almost no wear at all from being worked. However, the bolt handle has taken on a plum color. Wood has a couple of light handling marks that lightly dent the surface but no dings or scratches.

Rifle with box.

The only handling marks I can find. These don't go through the finish, are more just light rub marks.

It would be a shame to use that as a donor but it sure would be nicer than an SPS for a project.

I'd seriously recommend someone shoot this before making it a donor. Every .243 Model 700 I've ever owned shot ridiculously small groups.

I have a brother to it, another .243 leftie BDL from that first run. It shot bughole groups with boring regularity up until the throat got so bad that you couldn't touch the lands with a 100 grain bullet and have it inside the case.

Was going to shoot this one but decided to rebarrel the other one. It's at the gunsmith right now getting a factory barrel from a CDL installed. Have decided to mostly get rid of duplicated chamberings in my rifles, so this one is up to hopefully make someone else a very nice shooter.
