First off I' m a model 70 fan....that said I have no quarrel with the Remington 700.....but the BDL has way too much stock flash/polish.....it' s far too shiny and the white spacers are thirty years out of date!!!!

I own a Remington Classic.....great gun....(it' s .375 H&H) I' d take the classic over the BDL anyday.
