There were 2 version of the Model 700, the ADL and BDL. The ADL-BDL designations were originally acronyms for A Grade Deluxe and B Grade Deluxe. The deluxe term was once tacked on to the end of the model designation. Physically the two rifles are very similar- the ADL has a blind floorplate for the magazine that cannot be opened from the bottom. The BDL floorplate can be opened to permit unloading from the bottom.
