According to the "Subject" of your post, you HAVE a "Model 700".
It probably says that on the left side of the receiver.

You can check this link for the barrel date codes to find out when it was made:

The caliber it's chambered for will be near those barrel codes, too.

You can find more information here:

and here:

Depending on when it was made (assuming it hasn't been modified), will determine which stock style, features and other appearance options it has.
If it has a hinged floor plate and black fore end tip and grip cap, it's a BDL. If it doesn't have a hinged floor plate and plain wood fore end, it's an ADL. Plain wood with a hinged floor plate may indicate it's a "Classic".

Over the 50+ years that Remington has made the Model 700, there have been a multitude of varieties of styles and features.
