Like the title says, this is a 700 BDL in .270 Winchester. Not one of my personal rifles, so I don't know the history or how it shoots. The serial number on the rifle indicates it was made back in 1973, back when all the parts were steel and quality control actually meant something. The bore looks very clean with sharp rifling. Bolt head shows little wear, so I suspect the rifle was not shot a great deal. Bolt sleeve is jeweled. This rifle was definitely used on some hunts. It has multiple scratches, gouges and dings in the wood stock. I've tried to take pictures that show the scratches. Barrel exterior still in great shape. Originally had iron sights, but they were removed. Receiver has 2-piece scope base - looks to be a Leupold, but I cannot be sure. I bought this rifle as a project gun just for the action. My buddy/gunsmith thinks it is a sin to break up an old BDL like this. So I will try and sell it first. The long action, old-style Rem trigger, BDL bottom metal with box, spring and follower alone are worth $550 to me. New BDL's go for around $750. Asking $500 firm. 602-361-7191.
