Thanks, wasn't expected an outpouring of discussion on this but your comments met expectations.

glad i could help



ps i forgot to mention it was a 470 nitro

I have not seen a Dakota double, but if they are on par with other Dakota products, I expect that the workmanship is ok but certainly not great and that they are worth $8K to $10K even though they are priced at $25K. Dakota should put a little more into their rifles and a little less into their ads.
