Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Remington Model 700 Info Request

Hi Folks,

Was wondering if the "Model 700 Experts" out there
could give me some needed information. Was the model
700 BDL ever offered in other than a gloss stock?
I thought in the past, Remington sold them with an oil
finished stock; maybe a "limited edition"?. If
anyone can help me out it would be much appreciated...

Regards,
Sean

European and Classic come to mind.

yo should take this out of the reloading forums......... you would get more feedback

Hey folks,


Sorry for posting this in the reloading forum;
meant to post in the Hunting Rifles forum -
my bad...

I had a new BDL take off stock that looked like it had been oiled. The pores were open and it was definately not shiney. It was a spankin' new stock. Looked like it was stained too if I remember correctly. Ugly. Ken

Can't remember for sure but in 81 I bought a Remmy in 270 with an oil stained stock with what looked like a parkized finish which I thought was and Ideal hunting rifle. Sold it to my brother in law when the wife bought me a new 7400 in 06 for Christmas a month later. One of my bigger mistakes, 7400 sets in the corner with less than a box of rounds through it. Not sure it was a 700 didn't have it long enough to remember but It was a new rifle bought at K-Mart with an oil stained stock.
