Our Assessment: The Remington Model 700 is one of the most widely respected American sporting rifles of the 20th century, renowned for its accuracy, strength, and versatility. Introduced in 1962 and still in production today, the Model 700 has been offered in countless chamberings and stock configurations, but the CDL (“Classic Deluxe”) line represents its traditional hunting roots: blued steel, walnut stock, and a hinged floorplate. Chambered here in .25-06 Remington, this rifle is set up for the hunter who values flat-shooting performance across open country.
The .25-06 Remington is itself a storied cartridge. Developed as a wildcat in the early 20th century and standardized by Remington in 1969, it is based on the .30-06 case necked down to .257 caliber. The result is a fast, flat-shooting round that excels on varmints, coyotes, and medium-sized game such as pronghorn and deer, while still carrying enough punch for larger game with proper bullets. It has long been a favorite among western hunters for its reach across open prairies and high country basins, where minimal holdover and mild recoil provide a distinct edge.
This particular Model 700 CDL, manufactured in September 1990, features a 24” barrel that takes full advantage of the .25-06’s high velocity potential. Its walnut stock is well-preserved, with sharp checkering and only minor signs of field use. Mechanically, it remains in excellent condition with a bright 10/10 bore and crisp trigger. The rifle retains about 98% of its original blued finish, with only light operational wear and faint thinning on the floorplate. Topping the rifle is a Leupold 12x scope—an optic well-suited to the cartridge’s long-range capabilities, offering a clear sight picture and precise aiming for open-country shooting.
For the hunter or collector, this rifle represents a superb blend of classic Remington craftsmanship and one of America’s most respected all-around hunting cartridges. Whether pressed into service in the field or admired as a fine example of the Model 700’s traditional form, this .25-06 CDL stands as both a capable tool and a desirable piece of sporting history.
