In this episode we continue exploring the Remington Model 700. Andrew explains the differences between the 700ADL and the 700BDL. We show some of the differences in checkering patterns over the years of production. Andrew also takes a barreled action out of the stock and explains some of the things to look for in evaluating one of these rifles.

Very informative video. What information can you provide on the Remington left handed 788 in 6mm or .308?

I bought a 700 the second year they came out in 7 rem mag. Highly accurate rifle and came with a stainless barrel and in ADL gun. I have owned about a hundred Remington rifles and gave Winchester a run for there money since Winchester dropped the CRF action! One of the most copied actions of all time. I prefer the CRF for hunting but for target shooting the 700 design can produce some of the most accurate rifles! The safety concerns really hurt Remington but I think poor management in the end is what brought the company down! Hope the new owners of the ammo part and the rifle part both make wise decisions so the Remington name survives!

Thanks for the video. I just inherited an Rem 700 in 308. I now know it was built in 1976 and is the BDL version. In great shape and its my first 308! Just got it today and I can't wait to shoot it. Oh, one small note. The trigger feels like it's a 5oz. pull. Super light....almost too light. a fly could land on it and set it off.

Thanks for another informative video. Saved up my grass cutting money one summer in the 80's to buy a BDL 7 mag. Beautiful rifle.

Not sure if you mentioned this model but, in 1990 I bought a 700 bdl laminated stock. I remember it was the 2nd up from the bottom, but I loved the look of that stock and still do!

Good presentation. I was told by some benchrest shooting buddies that the ADL “blind magazine” model was potentially more accurate due to the solid stock configuration. My 7mm Remington magnum ADL model is an extremely accurate rifle, grouping well under a MOA at 100 yards.

I used to have a Remington 700 BDL Left Hand with Cut Checkering, the left hand version was introduced in 1973 with impressed checkering. Mine was a1974 production one in the 670,000 serial number range. A small note is that it had a 7 digit serial number ending in "4", denoting 1974 production.

I remember as a young boy seeing a Remington 660 in 6.5 and 350 Remington Magnum in a local gun shop. They had laminated stocks and vent ribs. Remington made a 600 model and a 600 Mohawk model with an 18½-inch barrel. I bought one for $69 dollars; it was one of the first deer rifles I bought. I shot my first Buck using it. I believe the only difference from a 660 was a dogleg bolt handle.👍

Great rifles and great cartridges! The 600 magnum in 6.5 and 350 mag had 18 1/2 inch barrel,laminated stock, ribbed barrel and dog leg bolt handle. The 660 magnum had a 20 inch barrel no rib and also had a dog leg bolt handle and laminated stock.

My dad gave me my first rifle when I was 12, a M700 BDL in .280 (barrel is stamped 7mm Remington Express). I've dropped a lot of game with it. It is the most accurate rifle I own, consistently making 3 shot groups touch each other on paper with 140 gr. and 165 gr. bullets. It does NOT like 150 gr. bullets for some weird reason, where the groups open up considerably.

I killed my first mulie buck, pronghorn buck and cow elk with my uncle’s semi custom model 700 in 280 Rem shooting 140 Partitions. (It is semi custom since it has an after market 24” barrel which is free floated and blue printed.)I have since inherited that rifle and presently shoot 140 Accubonds when I hunt with it. I get 5/8” groups at 2990 FPS. Great shooter and awesome on game performance.

Another great video. I hope this channel keeps growing. My dad always had Remington shotguns but Winchester rifles. Would love to see a video on the model 70 and 670 someday

I'm waiting for the winchester model 70 pre 64 I inherited one in 300 magnum only shot less than 20 times in mint condition. Researching all Info I can find want to learn long range precision shooting with it.

In the Remington 700 BDL models, what material is the cover of the pistol grip and the tip of the hand grip?

@BTORange 17 күн бұрын

Depends on the age of the rifle. Plastic, typically.

@Axle3369 Ай бұрын

At the 10-11 minute mark, you were talking about a live round stuck and the safety only stops the trigger. I have a 2004 BDL and it has an additional safety on the bolt that is switched off and on with the separate tool in the little green case that I am not positive but pretty sure it will lock the firing pin on the bolt itself. If I am wrong feel free to correct me. Thanks

@BTORange Ай бұрын

The dreaded J-Lock. Remington only did those for a few years c.2002-2005. It does lock the bolt/firing pin but is not the most positive of "safeties" and I believe it will only engage if the striker is in the fired position. We routinely replace those with non-lock firing pin assemblies to eliminate striker spring drag inside the bolt and because they are just plain ugly.

I bought my Remington 700 in 7mm Magnum new in 1984 and have recently fired it for the first time. It's has a plastic type stock and is an ADL. I didn't have any idea what a jewel I have!

The tacsport pro is a fantastic trigger. Only have it on my comp bolt gun, but ill go straight to it if I decide my 06 needs a better trigger than whatever it came with 35 years ago.
