They are lovely rifles, though I think the wood is sometimes over-graded on them. They are slim and elegant, with no exposed screws. I have read that they will break firing pins if dry-fired without snap caps, so invest in same.

A few years ago there was one I saw in 7mm Dakota for sale, for a little over $3k. But I just could not quite swing it at the time. If you get one of the Dakota cartridges, stock up on brass, as they only run them occasionally.
