bfletch7441 Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 My brother has a Remington model 700 in .270. I'm not sure how old it is, but it has a synthetic stock and a matte black barrel. He's never shot it, and I'm sure it's never been shot much. It has no iron sights, and there's no signs of a scope ever being put on it. My brother got it from my dad, who got it from a client, who said he didn't put more than a few rounds through it. My question is, how much is the gun worth? My brother doesn't want it, and I would like to have it. I'd like to pay him a fair price, but don't want to get ripped off. I've seen the new Special Purpose 700's in the $500 range, but this is a more basic gun than that. Any ideas? Thanks Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 It depends on the model. Is it an adl or bdl? An ADL, wood stock, in good condition can be had at pretty much any gun show (especially the big ones in Tulsa) for around $375-$400. A BDL that is very clean can sale for around $400-$475 or as much as they are willing to wait for. I tried to buy a .30-06 Rem700, BDL for $400 at a gun show and the guy wouldnt budge. The stock was in horrible shape but he still wouldnt budge. If it were me id happily give him $450 and not feel to bad either way. To clarify, $450 if it is a BDL.

wtnhunt Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Jeramie hit it right on. Fair price for a model 700 adl as you describe should be around $375-$400 and that would be the most I would offer. You can buy the guns new for that or less from wal mart if you can find them. Our store here still has a 30-06 with no sights and a 26 inch barrel for $300 and a .243 youth model 700 for $325. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 William is right too. I noticed the Walmart in Broken Arrow had the ADL, Synthetic for $300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfletch7441 Posted February 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 What's the difference between the adl and bdl? Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddyboman Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 What's the difference between the adl and bdl? Ben The main difference between the ADl and BDL is the magazine in the BDL has a hinged floor plate. Making unloading very quick and easy. The ADL does not have the hinged floor plate so you have to cycle the bolt to remove each cartridge. To me this is a safety feature... There is some other differences in cosmetics between the two but the action and barrels are the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Yep, he got it. The most obvious is how you remove unspent shells. If you have to jack them out the top one at a time you have an ADL... Floor plate in front of the trigger guard that alows you to drop them all at once (minus the chambered shell) youve got a BDL. BDL's are worth more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasDeerHunter Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 It sounds like a ADL synthetic and the new cost of one of those is about $329 before tax. I would not pay more than $300 for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 There is a conversion kit available for around $70 for the adl's that gives it a floor plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LETMGROW Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 There is also a DM model which means detachable Magazine. Generally the BDL has a jeweled bolt. The ADL doesn't have a hinged floorplate or DM. Check the barrel as most have ADL or BDL stamped into them. Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
