There are a few small dings, scratches, and minor handling marks scattered throughout the stock and metal surfaces, consistent with careful use over the years. Please examine the photographs for an accurate representation of its condition.

The bore is in excellent condition, with clean, well-defined rifling.

The rifle is fitted with a vintage Redfield 6-18X scope that complements its traditional sporting configuration. The scope displays some normal exterior handling wear.

About the Remington Model 700 BDL

Introduced in 1962, the Remington Model 700 became one of America’s most recognizable bolt-action rifle designs.

The BDL represented the more deluxe sporting configuration, distinguished by its polished metal finish, attractive walnut stock, decorative accents, and traditional checkering.

Examples manufactured during the 1960s and 1970s are particularly appealing to collectors who appreciate the styling and craftsmanship of vintage American sporting rifles.

The .222 Remington chambering adds another dimension of interest. Introduced in 1950, the cartridge developed a remarkable reputation for accuracy and was widely used in precision target shooting and varmint hunting.

Vintage Redfield 6-18X Scope

Included with the rifle is a Redfield 6-18X variable-power riflescope, a fitting period-style optic for this classic varmint rifle.

Redfield scopes were popular among American sportsmen during the 1960s and 1970s and remain collectible accessories today.

The higher magnification range is especially characteristic of the optics commonly paired with precision-oriented sporting rifles of this era.

Collector Interest

This is a particularly attractive example of a vintage Remington 700 BDL, combining a desirable .222 Remington chambering, 1976 barrel date, excellent bore, beautiful walnut furniture, and a vintage Redfield scope.

An excellent addition to a collection of classic American sporting rifles.
