I ran across a complete (with bottom) Dakota Arms African action today with a Rigby bolt face. It also has detachable 30mm rings and the whole thing is color case hardened. I believe it is new.

What is this worth?

They list at over $2400 in the African grade.
So anything better then that is a deal as far as I'm concerned

It's $1800; but I found it somewhere that I think will take a while to sell; going to see if its there in a few months and offer then $1200

Offer the OWNER of the shop $1200 now, tell them the offer is good for thirty days, and leave them your card with your phone number.

Chances are you'll get at least a counter-offer within a week.

Frankly, I would snap it up right now. Negotiate the best deal you can and walk away, unless it is only of passing interest.

A new Dakota 76 with detachable rings and color case hardened for $1800? Why are you still thinking?

Grab it.


The price of knowledge is great but the price of ignorance is even greater.

there is a difference between value and price tag.

But not to the proponents of The Doctrine of Conspicuous Consumption; their only criterion seems to be the price tag.

One mans bargain is another mans rip off.

I wouldn't give a plug nickel for a boat load of diamonds (unless of course they are industrial grade and can be used to dress my grinding wheels)

But a boat load of actions??? well thats a different story

I don't want to be the spoil sport here, but was any damage done to the action as a result of the case hardening job? A defective action isn't worth anything!

good question; don't know. Is there a way to tell/test?

I don't know how to test it, but many top smiths will no longer case harden bolt actions due to warping, etc.

I think I'd pass just to be sure! Confused
Maybe there is a reason the price is so good? Frowner

That dakota bolt fits pretty snugly in the receiver. If it works smoothly I'd say it's straight enough for use.
