The stainless cdl is the one w/ the woodstock I believe, makes little sense to me IMO, if you want a weather resistant rifle, go w/ the sps stainless , its the same gun w/ and injection molded syn stock, I had one in 7mag but sold it to but my 700 mtlss. The sps was pretty nice for the price, I actually liked the stock and finish (matte SS and jeweled bolt) on it, nice factory limbsaver recoil pad too. I wasnt too crazy about the Xpro trigger, and i found it a bit heavier than I like, but I found the quality very adequate, the only 700 I think is a little cheap looking is the all black sps and older adls.The new green stock triangle varmint guns look a little tacky to me too but, The SPS SS, the standard CDL, the BDL, and the MTlss are fine looking, fine quality, factory rifles IMO.
