The Remington 700 BDL in .22-250 Remington presented the flattest-shooting factory varmint cartridge in the most refined traditional bolt-action aesthetics. The BDL's high-gloss walnut, impressed checkering, and hinged floorplate gave the .22-250 a formal presentation unusual for a varmint rifle. Remington standardized the .22-250 in 1965 and the BDL was the flagship chambering, establishing the cartridge as a premium factory offering rather than just a wildcat dressed in production clothing.
