I have two Model 76 Dakotas.I bought them both used.I had what I thought was an accuracy problem with the 30-06.I called them up and they said send it in.So I did.They put a new barrel on it and refinished the Rifle back to new condition.Did not cost me anything ,but the shipping charge to them.By the way both rifles shoot .5 groups as a matter of fact with almost anything you feed them.They are not super light ,but are so well balanced that you dont notice that fact.They are everything a Mo.70 should be!!!!!!
