I'll see what they have...
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

I think one could be had in a 7x57�. They won't chamber it...I asked.   Just got a note back from Dakota Arms. This rifle isn't exactly as listed. It's their Classic all dressed up in African options. And yes, they'll put one together in 7x57 with the classic 1:220mm twist, 5-6 month delivery. That would be just in time for my birthday!!

Guys I know they chamber 7x57. I've seen them. I was busting them on Ingwe and the Reverend.... 
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

How could they not make a 7x57...

By the way Ingwe, you got a Bass Pro out your way? Down here they have Thermacell on sale for $25 and that includes the holster that you normally have to buy separately. You're gonna want one when you venture to our fair state.

I might just take the easy way out and contact Dakota to see what's offered. No way it can even approach what Westley Richards wants for their M98-based rifle. At least I don't think.  If it was me ordering a Dakota,this is what I'd get. 22" barrel. Upgrade the stock. NO cheekpiece. Caliber whatever is striking my fancy at the time. Every thing else is just money in a hole.

FWIW, here's a M10 in .358. Decent piece of wood, too...

I had this early 416 Rigby for a number of years. Perfect feed and extract and was very accurate with the 400 gr Hornady and RL22. Beautifully made piece. I bought it for a song and sold it for twice the song. Gent from SoCal bought it for a buffalo hunt. I see it is now for sale at Champlin's. http://www.champlinarms.com/Default...amp;mid=409&StyleID=2&GunID=2600![[Linked Image]](http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa437/boxhead61/MiscGuns021.jpg)
Conduct is the best proof of character.

We're just down the road from Dakota Arms. First Stop Gun in town claims to have the largest selection of Dakotas. Don't know for sure, but they have a bunch.

I met a French guy the other day. I asked him "Do you speak German?" He said "No." I said "You're welcome!"

I could really like that Dakota 10 if it didn't have that gawd awful pad hanging on the butt. A Niedner plate would look sooooo much better..
