Help IDing a Rem. 700

[matt_b89]

I have a remington 700 with a leopuld mark ii scope that im trying to sell, but i'm not sure what type it is. i can't seem to id it because the stuff I read off the barrel doesn't seem to jive with any id book i've read. I need to know so I know what price to ask for it. The 2 letters I see clearly are l and g and then it looks like a u or w but in a different font of some type so im thinking its not part of it. also it just says remington 700...no adl or bdl so I'm in the dark. Soooooooooooo....

Question 1- What is it?
Question 2- How much is it worth?
Question 3- Is anybody interested in doing a trade for this rifle and a little cash for a cheaper hunting rifle. I've fallen on some hard times during college and need a little dough. Thanks for your help guys.

ps....Also I measured the barrel and it seems to be about 22 inches long. its a .270 caliber as well.

Pictures?

i cant find my camera at the moment but it has a quick open floorplate which i read somewhere that that would make it at least a bdl because the adl doesnt have one of those

If it was 308 is be interested..... Good luck!

 

[matt_b89]

thank you. are there any easy ways to tell whether its an adl, bdl, or cdl?

Does it have a bottom metal plate under the mag well?

I have a 700 BDL I bought new in 1981/2.
It has a high gloss wood stock with a black for end tip. It has the quick release floor plate. I am pretty sure it has a jeweled bolt?
It is a safe queen that i have not handled in years. I used to hunt with it but I did not like the scratches that it earned, so I retired it to the safe.

 

[matt_b89]

yes has a glossy finish and it does have a button in the trigger guard that dumps the bottom floorplate. i'm wanting to trade down to get anotehr gun and some cash.its gota great leupold mark ii scope that i may put in the trade, but i may just trade the rifle for a lesser rifle and some cash and keep the scope to put on the other rifle. Please spread the word and make some offers guys

 

[matt_b89]

yes and mine has the jeweled bolt also
black butt pad with a white ring between the wood stock and black butt pad

 

[NathanJ]

well at the vary least it is a BDL if it has a bottom mag plate.

It could also be a "Classic" which had the hinged floorplate and jeweled bolt but the foretip was walnut like the rest of the stock, no rosewood.

Just run the serial with Remington. I can't imagine IDing a modern gun to be a challenge. Or post a full picture ... Some detail shots too. Lot of smart guys around here that could help.

This is the 700 BDL I am talking about. Not mine, stock photo from the Internet.

 

[matt_b89]

yeah it looks like that one above right there. does it say bdl on it anywhere though? mine doesn't

also price wise i'm wondering where the rifle would stand. it's a .270...dunno if that caliber would make it more or less price wise. Plus the leupold mark ii scope. any ideas? i'm looking em up on gunbrokers but i'd like some of your opinions

 

[kalister1]

No marking of BDL that I know of. I have no Idea of value?
