Too bad the 602 has that euro stock on it. I have a regular stock that came off CZ 550 in 458 Lott. Does anyone know if that would fit the.375?

The 400 is from the same seller as the CZ’s the other day.

I contacted them about the ZKK 600 7x57, they told me it was sold the same day it was listed.
 
I called about this one as soon as it came out yesterday morning....as always it was already sold.

Me too! That is a rifle you gotta buy within 15 seconds of it being listed! I’m intrigued by that Dakota 76 400 H&H though, pretty reasonable for an unfired Dakota although acquiring ammo could be a pain but perhaps Hendershot’s has brass and can load? Leaving in less than two weeks for buffalo can’t really justify it now.

If that Dakota had a piece of walnut on it I would be in serious trouble !
 
I’ve posted a number of international auction recaps on this thread, identifying where demand and pricing is rising or falling for a variety of guns.

Not actionable information since the auctions have passed.

What say the members, useful or not useful to get recaps of what’s happening in London and elsewhere?
Very useful to understand the market dynamics prices and demand that drive price.. Always appreciate the insights on prices, especially in the UK, and European markets.

If you want a 400 H&H, there is a beautiful one for sale on Gunsinternational and has been there for months. William Larkin Moore’s listings. Was built by Clayton Nelson on a pre-64 action. It is listed at $5900 from memory, but right off the bat they said they would do 5000 on it. In my warped opinion, much more gun for $1000 more.

Thank you very much - I’ll check on it

Not sure I can concur that a custom on a pre-64 is worth more than a Dakota, although I have not looked at the specific specimen.

The reason Dakotas are special is they have double the clientele interest. Interest group 1.: The collector that realizes they are bankrupt, never to return, and that Don Allen made an amazing American product now a collectible using best materials. Competing interest group 2: The group that thinks collectible guns are stupid and that owning assets is dumb, but they want a nice new rifle and a Parkwest is $13,000 and an unused Dakota is half that price.

It's this doubling up on interest that makes a Dakota special. A pre-64 winchester custom is no different then a custom based on a CZ action. It's nothing special for a collector, nor is there anything stopping more from being made. It's a quality gun/action for sure, but there is no blue book of gun values telling you what its worth. For those reasons, I only buy pre-64 or CZ customs if they are over the top and sold for 1/5th of the cost the original buyer put into them. (exceptions: if made by a celebrity maker like Todd Ramirez, JP Smithson, Griffin & Howe)

Not pooping on the un-inspected gun, just saying that you can't compare a Dakota to a custom pre-64 from a nobody.

Clayton Nelson is not Duane Wiebe, but is well respected. I (personally) believe the rifle in question is more desirable (and valuable) than a synthetic Dakota. As an old friend used to say, I am often wrong, but never in doubt.

I sent the link to skullkeeper yesterday and drop/LOP doesn’t work for him. If they will sell for $5000 (or lower) as referenced, price is effectively the same as the synthetic Dakota. https://www.gunsinternational.com/g...n--400-holland---holland.cfm?gun_id=102656261
