[QUOTE="Rubberduck270, post: 5726522, member: 9199"] The older CDLs weren't necessarily "nicer" than the BDLs they were just a different style ie. no iron sights, no cheek piece on the stock, no white line spacer on the stock and if you go back far enough I believe the CDLs weren't drilled on the side of the receivers for a rear peep sight mount where the BDLs and ADLs were (until the early 80s). They also were a hand rubbed stock finish rather than the BDLs high gloss sprayed on finish. I know they were a deep blued finish but I don't remember them being quite as gloss of finish as the BDLs were. They did both have a jeweled bolt and a walnut stock where the ADLs of the time would have been just a polished bolt and a birch/cheaper stock. 700s across the board went downhill when they showed up on WalMart shelves. The corners they cut on the fit and finish to try and compete with a $297 Savage ran the whole line in the ground. [/QUOTE]
