    I'm picking this rem700 .270 up from a friend but I'm having a hard time identifying if it's a bdl/cdl with an aftermarket stock or a custom shop rifle? The grade of the walnut stock makes me think it's more than a bdl. Any guesses? Serial number indicates a 1975 manufactured date.

    Does it have a hinged floor plate?

    Yep, so that rules out an adl for sure.

    I believe CDL is a newer model...like 20 years or newer?

    Not to hijack your thread but I just bought a early 4 digit serial number 700 in 264 win mag with a 4x12 Leopold on it for 495. Here's a screen shot of it. I'll post pics when I get it. Screenshot_20240206_121235_Chrome.jpg Screenshot_20240206_121225_Chrome.jpg

    Good cartridge. Little tough finding the ammo for it right now.
