Remington 700 BDL . Moose trot I used 100 gr corelockt for a while but had some deer run into thick cover. Killed a truck load of deer with this rifle using 87 grain spritzer hand loads. Same round I use on ground hogs.
Oh yea I bought it in 1979 not 1999. LOL wish I was that young !!!!!! Had to edit original post to change date

jbyrd63- Was your rifle new in 1979?
I have a .22-250 Rem 700 that looks a lot like yours. I bought it used in 1990. I've taken deer with it using a 70 gr Speer bullet, sort of a .243/6mm "lite" but primarily its supposed to be a yote gun.

bought my last 700 bdl in .22-250 in 89 for 300 on sale at gunshop,,sold it for 300 also ...neighbors didnt like hearing that cannon in this part of the country. Actually had one come flying up the road to see what was going on. It was great on the prairies of the Dakotas but wasnt well liked here. Same caliber caused glen sterling to lose his hearing. He was same as me,,no earplugs

Those old K model Weaver scopes were darn good ones no mater what rifle you put them on.

Rem 700bdl owner here. Dead nuts accurate. Very small groups.
If you miss , you cannot blame the rifle. You have to blame the person behind the stock.
