The scope I have only has 2 knobs, no parallax knob and doesn't say Lightseeker on the side. Not sure if it's just an older model or what. I saw all those examples in my research but figured it wasn't the correct ones.

This is from their website, looks like I just have an older version

Just add up the NIB price of all the individual components and divide by two and that's what you can expect to sell it for.

If it doesn't say "Lightseeker" on the side, then it's likely a Gameseeker which is about $200 new.
Also, I believe all the 700 DM rifles are considered either BDL or CDL. The difference is the finish on the rifle. BDL is a gloss finish and CDL is a satin bead blasted look (And satin wood stock if yours was wood). I believe you have a Rem 700 CDL SS DM, but I could be wrong.


It is far more important to be able to hit the target than it is to haggle over who makes a weapon or who pulls a trigger.

I haven't dated his gun by its barrel stamp but I am pretty sure it pre-dates any CDL offering by Remington just based on what I know about that model. And on top of that the only stainless gun I have ever seen Remington label a CDL was one in a standard wood CDL stock with stainless action and barrel. Never seen them attach the CDL name to a stainless/synthetic before............but like I said I have been out of the Remington loop for awhile now.

Wonder why they make this so hard, seems a little ridiculous to have so many models that are almost the same lol

LOL! Trust me.......its a SS-DM or maybe you could call it a BDL SS-DM. I would pretty much bet my life its not a CDL-DM or a -B model unless it had the factory break.

I have a old Remington catalog with all these models in it with pics somewhere from when I ordered mine. If I can find it I will post a pic showing all the models. I haven't seen it in probably 10 years but if I run across it will post some straight from the Remmy catalog. It would show a picture of the gun and its official name along with calibers available.

Any ideas on the scope? What is that dial for on the front? Its definitely a LIGHTSEEKER though. Absolutely no model # on the thing though. Geez.

Dial in front is adjustable objective, it is for setting parallex at the different yardages

Don't know much about the scope.

The dial on the front is your adjustable objective (commonly called "AO") for parallax.

Oh ok. So instead of having a 3rd knob on the side like most scopes, this is haut on the front. Makes sense. My Weaver 3-10x40 grand slam tactical doesn't have parallax adjustment.

Correct. It use to be very common for the parallax adjustment to be on the end of the scope like that one but its more common to see them on the side of the side of the scope now.

Most mid and lower end scopes with a max magnification of around 10x or under don't have parallax adjustment.
