I am trying to help a friend, Larry, locate a Rem. 700 BDL used model. Where have they all gone? Are these used Rem. Rifles being hoarded? I have even called out to Mule Deer's home town. None. The gun stores in North East Tennessee do not stock/trade on used guns anymore. Has anyone noticed no one having any of the used Rem. 700 rifles where you live. WOW! One would think these things were like primers now... can't get any.
I see them fairly frequently at Capital Sports in Helena, but not every time.
The last time I "needed" a 700, for a 6mm-06 project I wrote for
Handloader, I found an old 700 ADL (the kind with the impressed checkering) at Capital for $350. That was maybe 2-3 years ago.
Generally end up at Capital every week or two, when we make one of our periodic trips to Helena (the local "big city") for shopping or other stuff. We'll be going tomorrow and I'll take a look.
