Remington Model 700 BDL Carbine – .243 Win – First Year Production – 4 Digit Serial – Excellent Condition

Offered here is an early production Remington Model 700 BDL Carbine chambered in .243 Winchester, manufactured during the first year of Model 700 production (1962) and bearing a desirable four-digit serial number.

The Remington 700 quickly became one of the most successful bolt-action sporting rifles ever produced, prized for its strength, accuracy, and smooth action. Early examples such as this one are particularly sought after by collectors due to their short production features and low serial ranges.

This rifle features the classic BDL configuration, including the hinged floorplate magazine, high-gloss walnut stock, and crisp factory checkering with fleur-de-lis pattern accents. The compact carbine length barrel makes for a well-balanced and highly practical hunting rifle while retaining the elegance expected from early Remington sporting arms.

The rifle remains in excellent overall condition, showing very light handling wear with strong original blue and a beautiful walnut stock. The bore is bright with strong rifling, and the action cycles smoothly as expected from a quality Model 700.

Early four-digit Model 700 rifles in this condition are becoming increasingly difficult to find, especially in the desirable .243 Winchester chambering.
