BiebsIf your game doesn't require the 225-250gr loads, a 338 with a 160gr TTSX will get near 3,400 fps.

375sunriseIs this a Dakota made for Beretta or a later one produced by Beretta after they started making them?

375sunriseDoes it have the detachable magazine? If so how is the magazine marked?

Biebs375, the receiver is not marked "Dakota". The serial number starts with RAA...perhaps that helps? The magazine floorplate is attached to the box magazine, and is released from inside the trigger guard. It is Marked Beretta Mato on the floorplate, and LONG MAG inside.

Dakota actions used from serial number RAA001001 to RAA001203. Dakota was also marked on reciever in front of bolt.

BiebsYes, I read that....just the first 203 actions were made by Dakota, and so marked.

Bill CollectorLop? Weight? How does it shoot.

BiebsBillC, specs show 7.8 lbs...about right for the stout 338 Win Mag. LOP is the standard 13 1/2" and the barrel is 24". I've never shot it, and I'm not sure it's been shot based on the boltface, magazine and muzzle condition. Reviews show excellent accuracy.
