beautiful

I don't know if it is just the way the rifle is sitting or what but those are some huge looking ground griz.


JR, that Dakota is gorgeous. Is there a magazine in the floorplate or what? I'm not really familiar with Dakota 22's.

They were fat for sure but I think your right just the way they were positioned and the way I took the pic

JR that Dakota is something special. Stunning....simply stunning.

Thanks Dave, and the other fans of walnut & steel.
The magazine doesn't have a latch like most 22s. The floormetal is the exact same as the one used on the Kurz short action Dakota 76. The floorplate has 2 sets of T slots where you can attach a standard W shaped magazine spring. On the 22RF the W spring is cut to one short leg only about 1 1/2" long and attached to the floorplate on the opposite end as a standard 76. When the floorplate is closed the short spring keeps pressure against the magazine. Open the floorplate and the mag falls out.

There's a Trap buttplate I whittled into a solid McFarland with an extra magazine just waiting to dispatch a heard of squirrels.

Jesse Kaufman did an outstanding job engraving on this rifle. I'm glad he's just a half hour away.

The more pics you show of it the more I'm drooling.

Classy rifles indeed, and handguns!

Wonder how that 1710 AV shoots early in this thread?

Fyrepower, what wood is that T-bolt, in the middle...of the 3 ?

Nice stuff folks.....nothing like quality accurate 22s.....many which are easy on the eyes!

Tried 6 different lot's.Wind flag's out ,one lot shoot's 5 shot's consistent 1/4"or better at 50yds with a lot of groups in the 1's. Big difference between lot's.Last group I shot measured .121".

There are so many really great guns in this thread. I'll try to add some to the thread today.

JRGunmaker, your Dakota is special. As beautiful a rifle as I've seen in a long, long time. Thanks for sharing photos with us.
