I picked up a brushed stainless Remington 700 BDL in 300 Win Mag. 24" metal finish stainless sporter barrel. It's got a standard walnut stock and bottom metal (although someone installed a nice Jewell trigger). I can't find much on walnut-stocked BDL rifles with brushed stainless. There seems to have been several Shot Show runs in various calibers. For all I know it's a BDL stock stuck on an old stainless barrel and action.
I think I've read where you could special order a brushed stainless action/barrel as options for the BDL, but not sure.
Any ideas?
EQ barrel mark, so I'm guessing '96, but who knows. It has a "98" after the barrel date marks, so I'm wondering if that means 1998 (as in it went back in for work in 1998). In any case, pretty little gun. Looking forward to setting it up.
