[QUOTE="Cedar Creek, post: 1836039, member: 12387"] The ribbon checkered BDL models are kind of like the early Ruger 77 rifles with red pad & tang safety - criticized during their production period and now bringing a premium. A lot of shooters didn't like the 700's pressed checkering and glossy finish; the checkering is non-functional because the points go in instead of out and when covered by the glossy finish provides no grip. With that said - my favorite rifle is just like this one except it is 1969 production in .22-250. As far as value I feel like the .243 is probably worth more than a long-action version in .30-06 or .270. I would definitely pay $375 for it if it is in nice condition. Cedar Creek [/QUOTE]
