Detailed Features

The Monte Carlo stock has generous checkering at the grip and fore-end. 
 

Target Audience 

This rifle suits hunters going after deer or larger game, and competitive shooters who want a proven long-range platform. The .308 Win chambering keeps ammo widely available and recoil manageable. 
 

Usage Scenarios 

At the range the 700 BDL rewards careful handloads or quality factory match ammunition. In the field, the 22-inch barrel delivers enough velocity for ethical shots on medium to large game at typical hunting distances. The walnut stock shows wear over time in a way that adds character rather than detracting from function.

Owners of the Remington 700 BDL in .308 Win generally praise the walnut stock's finish and the rifle's inherent accuracy. Most agree that with quality ammunition the platform shoots well. The bolt action is described as smooth and consistent. On the critical side, some shooters note that the rifle's 7.25-lb weight is heavier than modern synthetic-stocked alternatives, and a few prefer adjustable cheekpieces or more modern stock features. The classic design also means fewer attachment points for accessories compared to more tactical configurations — a non-issue for hunters, but occasionally mentioned by range shooters. Overall, the BDL holds its reputation as a dependable, accurate hunting rifle with a look that stands apart from the synthetic crowd.
