The first time I held a www.DakotaArms.com was at a RMEF Convention, and have always wanted to own one. In about one year I will have enough to buy one if everything works out. I don't know if I want a Model 10 in 30-378 Wby. Mag., or Model 76 African in 416 Wby. Mag. The wood will be either Bastogne or Turkish Walnut. The Model 10 will have a 28" barrel with a case hardened receiver. The Model 76 will have a 25" barrel with blue receiver. I am still undecided on other options. Good luck.
