    I was at a gun shop today and was looking at a remington 700. It was a BDL in 270. It was totally parkerized and appeared to have a mcmillan (or similiar) stock with a cheek piece. Was this a special model or is it just customized aftermarket. What would you think is a good price for this given it is in decent condition.(handling marks but no rust or damage)I have not seen a gun like this before.


    Any info would be great

    Thanks
    John

    I know that this has been hashed over a few times, but how do you remove the finish from the remington 700 stocks? If cracked they get water under the finish, and that will lift some of it. Maybe a torch.? Carb. cleaner? Any in put welcome. Thanks in advance.

    I've got a remington 700 in 300 win mag, and for some reason it is harder than heck to eject the shells out of it! You literally have to yank as hard as possible on the bolt before it finally gives. I clean every inch of my gun every time it's shot, and I lubricate it lightly. Can anyone give me a hand here? The gun is in probably 95% condition. Thanks guys.

    john kerry, out to prove he's got nothing to prove.

    I am thinking of getting rid of my 280 Remington in a Model 700 Remington. It is stamped as a 7mm Express and have read that this marking is somewhat rare. The gun is in nice shape and was just wondering an approx. value.
    Thanks

    Hi; I was just looking on Gunbroker, and there seems to be a lot of Remington 700's for sale on it. Are they good? Or is there a reason for them being for sale? I want to get one, but now I am a little hesitant. Thank you in advance, Mike

    I have a Remington 700 in 222 Rem. Going by the barrel code it was made in 1962. The unusual thing about it is it has a 20 inch barrel. My question is how long did they make the 20 inch barrel before going to a 22-24 inch barrel, and are the shorter barrel guns worth collecting?

    I have heard that Remington 700's had "better" production years than others (similar to the famed pre-64 Winchester) but have never heard which years were better.

    Does anyone know if the Remington 700 BDL wood stock is of the same contour/size as the Remington 700 Varmint Special rifle wood stock of the 80's? I need to know since i want to put a heavy barrel on my 700 BDL 30-06 similar in contour to the heavy barrel on the old 700 varmint special but i need to know if the stocks are the same size to allow for a heavy barrel on my rifle...?

    Hey guys I have a qustion, I have a Remington 700 Sendero with the Kevlar stock and a heavy barrell. The gun has had the bore broke in and that is all. With this gun I have about 300 rounds of Winchester ballistic silvertip ammo and dyes and a caliber conversion kit for the Dillon 550. I am wanting to sell this rifle and get a Remington 700 22-250 with a stainless fluted barrell. Do you guys think I should put the rifle on auction and if so what should I ask for it. Should I sell everything as a whole?? Then what should I ask?? Thanks for the help. Oh yeah if I get a 22-250 what should I look for for accuracy out of the box. I assume the stainless flutted whould be a good choice. A guy told me that lighter barrell is more accurate, is this true and why?? Thanks again, you guys are great.

    New gun??? No, honey, I've had it for years.

    I would like to know the approximate value of a REMINGTON 700 chambered in 30-06. It has a scope on it, not sure about size. The gun is blued with a walnut stock. The model number is 6318264. Also I need to know approximate age if possible. THANK YOU

    If some of you remember I asked you about my wife's 700 sps varmit rife about putting a new barrel on it.
    Well I took it to a gunsmith who was a acredited Remington smith.
    Come to find out that the barrel threads where not concentric to the chamber,the lands and grooves where not even all the way around and the chamber was barrel shaped.
    It took some time but he put to where she can shoot half MOA at 200 yards.
    So this will be the last Remington I will buy her.

    Is there a difference between the magazine spring for a Rem. 700 long action ADL and one for long action BDL ? I need a spring and see them listed on our host GunBroker but don't know if they are different. Any info is appreciated. Terrill

    Bolt handles don't break off the old ones! [:D]
    Fit finish, IMHO, are better on older models. Newer models are more synthetic types. Guess it depends on your prefrences.

    There are some technological advantages with newer models: free float, bedded/pillar stocks, different rifleing techniques,ect.

    There may be in the wood...depending on the model. The blueing may also vary. Some of the very early models had 20" barrels in the standard calibers. I once had a nice 300 Mag I purchased new in the early 70's...it had a stainless barrel. There are some people that felt the older triggers were better...they were more adjustable...although I have a newer 700 that has their NEW trigger...I like it very much!

    I have a very early 700 BDL in 7 mag, it is dated June of 1962, you will look long and hard to find a factory rifle with better fit or finish. That's comming from a die hard pre 64 model 70 collector.
    Todays Remingtons don't even come close.[:(]

    Yes, absolutely, there is a great difference. The older 700 were before manufacturing let the bean counter's take over. While they have better manufacturing processes, and supposedly some better materials, the overall quality has taken a dive.
