LikeeveryModel700, the BDL
has one of the world's strongest
boltactions. Boltface; barrel,and receiver
surround thecartridgeheadwith threeringsofsolid steel.
What's differentis itscontemporarystyling, itscustomskip-line cut checkering.
.
~.
Like all the 700s, even our
least expensive model, the ADL, has the
sweetest, surest trigger you'll find anywhere. It, too, has a quality
American walnut Monte Carlostockwith cheekpiece. In fact, the 700ADL
has all the accuracy, strength, and reliability of our other 700s but at a price
virtuallyevery riflemancan afford. The 700s are the ultimate in choice, too. See foryourself;
