Here is a Remington 700 BDL 30-06 made in April of 1974 (CY date code). I am 99% sure it has never been fired. I bought it years ago in the box, no signs it had ever been fired, the plug screws were still in the receiver. I intended to shoot and hunt with it, but now that I have been bit by the Africa bug need to clear out some space for bigger bore rifles. I mounted a period correct Leupold 2-7 scope with old style arched logo in Weaver QR bases, I adjusted (3.25 pounds) and corrected the Walker trigger, and I glass bedded the front of the receiver and recoil lug. The barrel channel is unmodified other than the glass bedded lug, the pressure point is still intact. I never did shoot it, and decided that maybe someone else could put it to good use. It is surprisingly light, weighing under 7 pounds with scope bases, lighter than other 700 BDLs I have owned. The box is definitely showing its age but is still mostly intact. When I bought it it came with one sling swivel and a leather sling in the box. I am not certain the sling is complete, I have not unwrapped it, but seems to be less leather there than I would expect. I believe the sling was included with these when new. A few minor impressions in the stock, I have pictured the two worst. I attempted to research what a new 700 BDL was selling for, but couldn't find any on Gunbroker, Buds, or Sportsmans Warehouse, not sure if the new RemArms is actually producing any currently, and if they are I would personally rather have a 52 year old unfired one.
I will sell it for $1250.00 without scope but with bases, or $1500.00 with scope shipped in the United States to your FFL from an individual. I will accept bank checks, bank or USPS money orders, or personal check held until clearing. I used this rifle to demonstrate my fix for the evils of the Walker trigger, here is the video for those interested.
The bolt locks shut when safety is on, and the floating connector safety issue with the 700 trigger has been eliminated. This is something I do to all my Remington 700s that I hunt with. If you want it, please post here followed by a PM. Thanks !
