bdl is not a model number. Please check again
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
1,000 in mint condition. They are a rare rifle. Less than 5% of 760 BDL's were left handed.
I assume you know it's a rifle or you wouldn't have put it here and you asking about the BDL? The BDL rifle has the magazine floorplate release in front of the trigger and being a deluxe it has a better finish.
There were 2 version of the Model 700, the ADL and BDL. The ADL-BDL designations were originally acronyms for A Grade Deluxe and B Grade Deluxe. The deluxe term was once tacked on to the end of the model designation. Physically the two rifles are very similar- the ADL has a blind floorplate for the magazine that cannot be opened from the bottom. The BDL floorplate can be opened to permit unloading from the bottom.
