I am looking for a particular rifle and was wondering if I have my data correct. 700 BDL 7mm mag RH. I want the one from 1962 to 1970 . It has "stainless steel" stamped on the barrel (blued). The checkering was stamped and had a "French Emblem" at the end of the checkering. Do I have the years correct and are all the rifles the same during that period. New here, so I hope I'm not to wordy. thanks ED

The 7MM Remington Mag was introduced in 1962 (first year for 700). The "STAINLESS STEEL" stamp was started in 1963 but production started with a 23-1/2 inch stainless steel barrel. In 1964 the barrels went to 24." The Fleur-de-list impressed checkering was used on the BDL model. The "STAINLESS STEEL" stamp was used untill 1970. The Fleur-de-list pattern seems to have been replaced in 1969 ( not clear on that) The source of this information was John Lacy's book "The Remington 700" The 700 "C" had a better grade of wood with cut checkering.
1962 to 1970
