OK Maybe I am an idiot, but what are the differences of ADL BDL CDL

 

How do I know which model I own? I got mine used and have no idea

I don't remember what the CDL was - synthetic stock maybe? The BDL was the fancy version with checkering, grip & forend caps and a hinged magazine floorplate. The ADL was the "plain-jane" version with a blind magazine - not sure it had checkering, but if it did, it was of a less fancy variety than the BDL. I'm sure someone will be along with a more comprehensive answer - I'm just going off the top of my head.

those are wood type remington 700's.

 

on their website they have a breakdown of most of them.

 

SPS, VS, VSSF are synthetic blends.

From Yahoo Answers...

 

the BDL(most expensive) usually has a solid wood stock styles may vary(varmint, tactical ect), hinged floor plate, and the finish is usually a little nicer (often has jeweled bolt ect)

 

the CDL (middle of the road) usually has straight-comb solid wood stock stock, hinged floor plate, nice finish but not as refined as the bdl.

 

the ADL (cheapest and no longer in production, replaced by some of the SPS models) often has a synthetic stock although there have been some with laminate wood, finish is usually textured flat black for later models and has a fixed floor plate. the fixed floor plate allows for a narrower lighter stock however its much more difficult to unload, the hinged floor plate can be unlatched and will swing open unloading all the rounds at once. its pretty easy to convert an ADL to a hinged floor plate so that a BDL stock can be used (parts cost about $80 directly from remington)

Still stumped, BUT thanks for the info.

 

By jeweled bolt you mean what? This seems to me the only difference to my eye.

"Jeweling" on a bolt is just another term for machine turning. Looks like this...

 

 

The theory being that the swirls in the metal will better hold lubrication, as opposed to a non-jeweled bolt.

 

Machine turning is also used in a decorative capacity - usually in an automotive application. Early Firebird Trans Ams and even earlier Studebaker Hawks (boy, I'm really dating myself now) among others, used machine turning on the dash trim.

I have the Remy 700 in 30-06 BDL lefty. It's gorgous and never leaves the safe.

I traded (+ lots of $$$$) exactly that on my Cooper LVT. My father was a southpaw and I'm not. I had no emotional attachment to that Remington, so it got traded.

I'm currently looking at getting a Remington 700 ADL in .308 for range plinking / silhouette comps / occasional hunting.

It looks like the perfect rifle for what I'm wanting to do without the needless frills.

How many forums are you a member of Maks? You are a very busy man.

OK I appreciate everyone's help. Looking at the bolt, it must be a BDL, now I also know what jeweling is. I am surprised that it is a BDL, the guy's father that passed and sold me these guns, most are not high end. Glad this was a nice one. it shoots great and is beautiful firearm.

 

Thanks again for the lessons
