Model 700 222 Rem no date code?

Without a "date code" there's no way to pin down the month and year, but the "B" serial number prefix indicates it was made in the early half of the 1980s. That's probably about as close as you're going to get.

Using a cleaning rod, measure the barrel length from the front of the bolt in the closed position to the muzzle and let us know that dimension. The serial number, although definitely NOT an exact science, indicates build date in the last quarter of the year 1980.

i was able to contact remington head quarters at 1-800-243-9700 with my serial# they were able to tell me what year it was made .

Sept, 1989?

[600RemGuy]

sept. 1962 !!! i think that was the first year remington made the 700s

Oh. So the long barreled lower caliber. Nice. I thought I'd seen your serial number on your posting! Must have been another as I though it had a "C" prefix.

You could have saved yourself the phone call.
The barrel date codes are actually on the RSA site.

dose any one know what ADL and BDL stand for on a rem 700 .222 cal. ?

Yes.

Do a Google search on "Remington rifles ADL BDL CDL" and start picking through the links.

Hint: It's an acronym "grade naming" system. A-Deluxe, B-Deluxe and C-Deluxe.
