I'm having a 416 Rem built on a Dakota action. Should I use a Mod 70 type floor plate or a Mod 700 type? I'm not sure which would be more dependable with this level of recoil. Any other options you would prefer?

The Dakota actions sold in Brownell's catalog come with a magazine box, floorplate, spring and follower. How did you end out without all of the kit that goes with the action?

Yes, I would use the Dakota bottom metal....certainly neither the M-70 or the Rem 700 metal is for big bores...you need a drop box at any rate for all big bores IMO....

I think he is referring to the Hunter model without a drop box, not Model 76. Model 76 is much more expensive and it comes as a complete action assembly.
