It's a BDL. I know this because I own one and the replacement stocks are for BDL's...
Yes. 700 BDL European
CD in CDL stands for classic deluxe.
The designation, BDL represents "B" grade wood and the DL is for deluxe model.
Actually, The 742A is the "Woodsmaster" and the 742 BDL is the "Deluxe". The differences in the two rifles are the stocks and forearms. The 742A has a rolled, impressed type of checkering and the 742 BDL has a basket weave style with the stock having a higher comb (where your cheek would rest when shooting). The receiver on the BDL has a slightly higher area where the scope is mounted.
The BDL model of Remington rifles stands for B deluxe. It is an upgraded model which features a hinged floor plate for ammo removal.

BDL is not an acronym for a specific word. Instead, it is a grade level that classifies the quality of the sites in a gun. BDL falls between ADL and CDL and can be determined to be either a good site or an unacceptable site depending on what the purchaser is looking for in a gun.
100-425 USD
I just paid $500. for a 700 BDL chambered for 30-06 with a Burris scope from a local shop in Texas. Mfg date in 1985... Hope that helps.
1,000 in mint condition. They are a rare rifle. Less than 5% of 760 BDL's were left handed.
