Identify a rifle???

I just purchased a used Remington .338 UM.
The action has the "MODEL 700" stamped on it and appears to be a BDL version by the look of the stock and the jeweled bolt. But there is scroll work all over the action and hinged receiver plate, with a Ram's head scrolled on the hinge plate.
Remington's website doesn't describe a model like this, at least not that I have found. Any idea's on how to find exactly what the "type" of model 700 it is?

A buddy of mine has a gun with all the same details and engravings on it, only its chambered for 30-06 springfield. Your rifle is a Model 700 BDL, the engravings do not mean anything other then they may help the rifle hold collectors value.

Thanks......just trying to figure out exactly what it is.
My guns only have value to me anyway. Nothing fancy or too expensive. Just for practical use.
