Description:
OVERVIEW
The 1968 Remington 700 BDL in .270 Win represents the peak era of Remington's craftsmanship. Featuring a premium gloss-finished walnut stock, white spacers, and intricate checkering, this "three rings of steel" action offers superb out-of-the-box accuracy and remains an iconic, flat-shooting big game hunting rifle.

Key Features and Legacy
  • Build Quality: Rifles from the 1960s and 1970s are highly prized by collectors and shooters for superior fit and finish compared to later decades. 
  • The .270 Winchester: Widely popularized by Jack O'Connor, the .270 flat-shooting ballistics make it a phenomenal all-around choice for deer, antelope, and elk out to 400-500 yards.
Collector & User Consensus
  • Value: Collectors seek out original, unmolested 1960s BDLs.
  • Accuracy: Users report that properly maintained vintage 700s are highly capable of printing 1-inch groups at 100 yards.
  • Trigger Considerations: The vintage adjustable triggers are generally well-regarded, but they were subject to an infamous Remington recall. Many owners opt to swap them for modern drop-in replacements like the Timney Trigger 512 for improved safety and break
