That sounds like a standard production 700 BDL from the late 1990's with factory roll engraving (not hand engraved). They had scroll work and a sheep on the floorplate and scrolls on the receiver.
Remington used roll engraving a few different models, but ended up dropping it after a few years. It really doesn't add to the value over a comparable non-engraved 700 BDL and it's probably worth $500-$600. Great rifle, great cartridge!
