Looks like a Remington Mdl 700 BDL, bought mine in '74, in .270. Sold it recently since I had no one to pass it down to. With old Redfield 3x9 sold it for 3x what I paid for it.
I got the ADL, it was around $300 at the time. Put a cheap tasco scope on it and went hunting. I ended up selling it to my dad around 2000 and bought a 1969 30-06 BAR. That gun was never my favorite but it was cool. I’ve long sold the BAR. I kept trying to buy my .243 back but he wouldn’t sell it to me because he liked it so much. I was ok with that knowing I’d get it back at some point. He did say he’d trade me for a BDL just like it if I wanted it bad enough. One year for his birthday I snagged a BDL stock and bottom metal off the hide and upgraded it for him along with the seekins base. After my daughter was born he took his scope off and gave me the rifle for her. I played musical scopes again and stuck a Bushnell 6500 2.5-16x42 on it with some BO rings. That’s a fantastic scope for not a lot of money if you can find a used one now. I got mine on Amazon for under $300 sick deal for a new one. I knocked the barrel off behind the front sight screws and threaded it for the Harvester. I can’t wait until she gets to shoot her first deer.
You sold you dad a 300 dollar gun for $2000? I don’t know whether to hate you or hire you to be my main sales manager in a new business I would start.

Is that the excuse you have for wearing panty hose ?
Sorta weird that I see this post today......just finished the spread sheet to put in the safe w/ my will identifying who gets what when my time is up. I got a Rem 700 BDL chambered in 30'06 for a wedding present (1975) from my mother. She paid $150 for it. Bought at a pawn shop in small West Texas town. Serial # indicates it was 1960's vintage. Fast forward to 1982. Bought a second Rem 700 BDL new in 7RM. Paid $299. Bought a Lupy 3.5x10xx44 for $350. Nearly had a heart attack at paying that much for a scope. Still have both rifles and the scope. Killed my first pig w/ the '06 and my first elk w/ the 7RM. Shot the barrels out of both (3000+ rounds over the years). Millions of $$ worth of memories... Two oldest grandsons have asked dibs on them. You couldn't pay me enough to buy them. Thanks for kindling the memories today!
A little JB Weld and it will be better than new!
Cool. Never heard of it before.
Almost all the the steam turbine power plants use it. The hydraulic actuators fire the stop and control valves would turn into flame throwers on a leak when the steam lines and turbine are 500+ degrees. It is nearly like brake fluid, it will remove paint from anything it touches and it's slick as hell.
This is what happens to a stock 5.0 block when exceeding 600 hp on a regular basis. All of a sudden you will have a loss of oil pressure with only the intake and oil pan holding the block together.
