Found one for a decent price and considered buying it. Chambered in 30-06. Supposedly just a few months old and never shot. I love the 90's and early 2000 Remington's but just curious how the newer BDL is if anyone has any opinions on it.
Anyone have a newer Remington BDL?

They are great guns. I have one myself chamberd in 30-30. Would highly recommend
30-30? I didn't know they made a bolt action 30-30.

Lever action. But still great guns
Yep I have a Marlin 3030 that I started out hunting with. Still my favorite rifle
I have a 2011 30-06. I love the wood stocks with the black cap. I wanted one for a while before I found this one. It works well. If you pick it up and don't like it I am sure you can find someone here to take it off your hands.
Thanks for the input. He was asking $800 but said make offer, I offered $500, he said $600 so I'm still pondering

Do it. If you don't you're not gonna know where that 600 went but you'll know all the memories and adventures that you and that gun had.
Man, it's a crapshoot with Remington's in the past few years. If your really wanting a 30-06, I would spend the extra $50-$100 and pick up a Bergara B14 Hunter in 30-06. Will be a shooter for sure and it comes with the BDL style bottom metal. The stock is also pillar bedded. It is a 700 action clone so everything for a 700 will fit it, including stocks, triggers, scope bases etc.

I have a 2010 CDL stainless flutted 700. It shoots both loads I've tried in .6 moa consistently. I did glass bed it as soon as i bought it so don't know how it might have shot right out of the box. That is all I've done other than adjust the trigger a bit lighter. It's held it's point of impact through all those years too. I've killed a bunch of deer between 300 and 400 yards and love the rifle. It's my number one big field deer gun.
I see some people have weird troubles with recent Remingtons but some of those same people tend to have weird problem with a lot of things so I'm not so sure the gun is the whole issue.

I would do it. Although the newer Remingtons had issues. I have a few and all are good rifles. Every brand has a lemon. The Remington 700 in 30-06 is the original deer slayer bolt action.
