    So, deerhide, your model is a 700 BDL DM. The DM designates Detachable Magazine

    Early on I couldn't remember which was which. One way I remember the differences between ADL and BDL is an acronym I made up. "anti-drop latch" and "bottom drop latch" for ADL and BDL respectively. Hope that helps.

    Remington is fond of acronyms as are many other manufacturers. Here's a few others. *Some might have slight assumptions but you'll get the idea*
    VSSF stands for Varmint Synthetic Stainless Fluted
    LSSV stands for light varmint stainless fluted
    Ti (or TT serial numbers) is Titanium
    VLS stands for varmint laminated stock

    ADL has a blind magazine. Used to be the low-end model
    BDL has an internal magazine with a floorplate
    CDL (classic) is basically the BDL with better wood/satin finish
    CDL DM has a detatchable magazine
    CDL SF has a stainless action and fluted barrel
    I believe the SPS has replaced the ADL but now has a floorplate and I believe a synthetic stock (SPS = Special Purpose Synthetic) Some SPS do have a laminated stock. What makes it special though???
