while at the Frisco Gun Club last week. I noticed on the consignment wall a really pretty Remington 700 BDL in .270. Despite the Poly finish, the wood grain was beautiful. I've been lookin a long time to find one of these in great shape, cheap. Most on Gunbroker are like $800+. This is for an OLDER Model with real triggers and barrels. This rifle was made in 1995. My first deer rifle was the same thing back in 1969. I made an offer, they called the owner, he accepted.
Bought it for a "loaner" when my buddies dont have a rifle. It had a decent Leupold 3-9 on it. I cleaned it bought some American Whitetail 130gr ammo. It shoots pretty darned good. Of course not being able to leave anything alone, i ordered a Trigger tech Special and a new Leupold Freedom 2-12X40. Great little scope for a budget. I took the front sight off and yanked out the 6# factory trigger. Its the Old Style trigger. I think I could have adjusted it to acceptable pull weight but what the he77.
I may look for some dies and 130 grain GameKings and roll some like the old days 59.5gr H4831

Sadface, always loved the hooded front sight on the BDL. For nostalgia I would have left it.
The BDLs were such beautiful rifles.
