Well, not really a build...just something I cobbled together.

Dakota 97 Hunter, 300 Win Mag, factory 24" barrel about #2. Sitting in a Brown Kevlar Pounder, with an early Rem ADL alloy trigger guard (the nice light one).

Goes 7# with Leupold 6x42, Leupold steel weaver bases, and Burris Zee rings. I'd prefer some Talley UL, but Dakota takes a pretty goofy base.

It is a bit of a handful, but I don't mind it that much - especially for hunting.

How the heck does this relate? Well, I'm thinking about putting a 7rem barrel on it...and it would about the same specs. So take it for what it's worth.
