Exhibition English Walnut.
Some minor handling marks on the stock, a stabilized crack behind the tang, and a ding on the quarter rib, otherwise it's in great condition.

Four boxes of ammo are included.

Excellent quality photos. The tang crack does look small. A first rate DGR-well done in exhibition
walnut.

Did that come from the Pacific Northwest? Those bases look EXACTLY like the ones Mark Stratton did for two of my model 70s. The rear is even milled for the Talley removable peep.

those are factory Dakota bases IMO. The stock, not so much. Never seen that checkering pattern on a Rigby. Stock looks better than most Dakotas.

Very nice. I tend to agree with you on the stock. It certainly seems much nicer than most Dakotas (I know they did offer some very nice upgraded stocks). In the several Dakotas I have seen with a length of pull over 15 inches, they oddly seem not to continue the cheek piece far enough back. This is well done all around.

Thanks guys. I double checked with the client I'm selling this for. It's a Dakota Custom. It was sold to my client by the original owner who special ordered it from Dakota.

Beautiful rifle but curious what caused that splinter to raise on the right side of tang?

Full contact between the tang and the stock. I've since injected epoxy into the cracks and added clearance behind the tang.

Beautiful rifle. What's the barrel length? Guessing under 20".

Per the website it is 21”. Again, very well executed!
