If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.

Went to a gun show... 20 miles from the Remington Hqrs. At the Remington exhibit, I asked the same question. 3 people with green shirts, and Rem. logo, could not answer... Finally a woman came out from behind the green Rem. curtin "Mountains are BDL's".. Maybe they were just trying to confuse.

Thanks, this helps. I'll check it out next time I'm at the store where it sits.

I have been to a few different shows where Remington People show up. Hopefully they are not anyone in engineering because they are dumber then Swampy.

Did it ever occur to you that perhaps one of those "Green Shirts" actually is Swampy? (God forbid...) smile

At least I have a Lee Six stock and it appears identical to my SS/Syn, Mtn rifle stock...

They were made only one year, then in 1994 they became BDL's with standard barrel contours... HTH-

The only thing I can add is that they have the inletted target type crown, or at least that's what I call it. I ordered mine as soon as they came out in 1992 because, 1) I wanted a stainless all weather rifle and 2) I wanted a 280. I killed my first deer with it on Jan 8, 1993, and have killed a bunch more with it since. If it helps you at all, the SN on mine is S6219XXX.

1 of the old stainless ADL Mountain rifles I have, had MTR or Mountain Rifle , something like that imprinted on the inside of the tupperware stock. Barrel contour is easy to tell the difference.

What is the going price on one of these as I have one in 30/06?
Only thing is that mine has a recoil reducer on it. I found this information as well on the Mountain Rifle. This is not my info, so I cant vouch for it but seems all good info. Hope this helps as well.

By pouring over old Remington catalogs I think I may have solved the mystery of your rifle.

Remington didn�t offer (catalog) a stainless-steel M700 until 1992. In 1992 the very first M700 in stainless was called the Model 700 Stainless Synthetic. That rifle chambered .270 Winchester featured a blind magazine and a 24-inch barrel. Here are photos of the relevant pages in the 1992 Remington catalog.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/TimberlineX/RemingtonM700StainlessSynthetic001.jpg

In 1993 that model was changed to the Remington Model 700 BDL Stainless Synthetic, and as a BDL it then featured a hinged floor plate. Also in 1993 Remington introduced what it called the Model 700 Mountain Rifle Stainless Synthetic. It featured a blind magazine and a slimmed-down mountain profile 22-inch barrel. Here are photos of the relevant pages in the 1993 Remington catalog.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/TimberlineX/RemingtonM700StainlessSynthetic003.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/TimberlineX/RemingtonM700StainlessSynthetic004.jpg

Given all that, it would seem that barrel profile and length should tell us exactly which model you have. If the barrel on your rifle is 24 inches in length and of a standard sporting contour you would appear to have a 1992 Remington Model 700 Stainless Synthetic.

But if your rifle has a 22-inch barrel with a slimmed down mountain profile, you then have a 1993 Remington Model 700 Mountain Rifle Stainless Synthetic.

Measure your rifle�s barrel length and tell us what you have.

When Ronald Reagan was president, we had Bob Hope and Johnny Cash.
Now that Barack Obama is president, we have NO hope and NO cash.
