- 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.
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.
Again phenomenal video! Thank you for the time and effort put into these. I really like this table top historical model videos. Thank you 🍻
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!
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.
Thank you so much for this clear information WITHOUT that distracting background music. Believe it or not it's better with just you speaking. No fuss no muss. Thank you again!!
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 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!
Great 👍 show it’s like being back in school, more the presentation ❤
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 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.
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.
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.
My dad owns a ADL built Dec-1963 that has only been shot 40-50 times it’s a beautiful gun

B DL = Below unload
Very informative video. What information can you provide on the Remington left handed 788 in 6mm or .308?
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
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.
quiero un adl yaaaaaaaaaaa saludos desde argentina
If ur using anything but a mod 700>>>YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG!!!!!!!!!
