  I was at a gun shop today and was looking at a remington 700. It was a BDL in 270. It was totally parkerized and appeared to have a mcmillan (or similiar) stock with a cheek piece. Was this a special model or is it just customized aftermarket. What would you think is a good price for this given it is in decent condition.(handling marks but no rust or damage)I have not seen a gun like this before.
  
  
  Any info would be great
  
  Thanks
  John

  Bolt handles don't break off the old ones! [:D]
  Fit finish, IMHO, are better on older models. Newer models are more synthetic types. Guess it depends on your prefrences.
  
  There are some technological advantages with newer models: free float, bedded/pillar stocks, different rifleing techniques,ect.

  There may be in the wood...depending on the model. The blueing may also vary. Some of the very early models had 20" barrels in the standard calibers. I once had a nice 300 Mag I purchased new in the early 70's...it had a stainless barrel. There are some people that felt the older triggers were better...they were more adjustable...although I have a newer 700 that has their NEW trigger...I like it very much!

  I have a very early 700 BDL in 7 mag, it is dated June of 1962, you will look long and hard to find a factory rifle with better fit or finish. That's comming from a die hard pre 64 model 70 collector.
  Todays Remingtons don't even come close.[:(]

  Are there any differences is quality in an older 700 compared to a newer one?
  
  
  Yes, absolutely, there is a great difference. The older 700 were before manufacturing let the bean counter's take over. While they have better manufacturing processes, and supposedly some better materials, the overall quality has taken a dive.
