I just found a sweet, gently used Remington BDL in .270 this AM at Cabela's. It has a Bushnell 3x9 mounted on the Kwick mount system, allowing one to use either the iron sights or the scope. I have an old Remington 721, and a nice 7600 pump, both in .270, but this 700 BDL is sexy beyond belief! Skip line checkering, high gloss stock, deep, rich blue, jeweled bolt..... This is the Raquel Welch of the Big Green line, for sure!
I couldn't pass it up. I have wanted a 700 BDL since I first saw one decades ago as a boy. Serial number starts with G, so I'm guessing 1986? Anyhow, the bore is MINT, and and heading out in the AM to put some 130's though it and see what she will do, and to decide if I'm going to keep the scope, or get something better. It looks like it was shot a few times, and kept in a safe. Anyhow, one way or another, this baby has left the safe and will be taking some woodchucks this spring!
