Remington 700 ADL vs BDL vs CDL

[DRADS]

I'm sure this has been asked before many times, but what is the real difference between the 700's. I know the ADL is the base model, then BDL, then CDL is the higher end. Besides the blind mag (ADL) and floorplate (BDL), is there any other difference? Then what makes the CDL so much better than the BDL? Are you just paying for bling that doesn't really effect how the rifle will shoot or is there more to it?

The BDL also has a black fore end cap and a Monte Carlo cheek rest.

It's been a while since I've handled a new M700, but the older BDLs used to have nicer bluing. The Monte Carlo stock with raised cheek piece seemed to be a better grade of walnut, with a gloss finish, better checkering, ebony fore end & pistol grip caps, with white spacers.

The ADL was pretty much a basic 700 without as much attention to detail.

Like I say, I haven't really looked closely at one lately, so this has probably changed.
