I’d never seen a Dakota model 10 until I walked into a high end gun shop and they had two of them. A .250 Savage and a .270. A Ruger model 1 didn’t compare well to either of those lively Dakota 10’s. Shoulda, coulda, woulda, but didn’t.


My other auto is a .45

The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory
