Want To Buy Dakota 10 or 76 7mm Dakota

[nyrifleman]

I have a pile of brass and dies but no rifle.

Please PM if you have one you'd like to sell, I need at least a 13.75 inch length of pull.

I'd also consider a rifle in 300/338 Dakota which I could rebarrel if the price were right.

First stop gun & coin has a M 10 in 7mm Dakota.

Yes sir I saw that rifle the wood is not to my liking.

I am a bit picky when it comes to walnut.

Still looking for a nice rifle from an established member.

I have a Dakota 10 with killer French Walnut in 280 Remington. Tack Driver with the one load I’ve tried.

Easy peasy rechamber to 7mm Dakota, or rebarrel if that’s how you want to go.

I think it would do whatever needs doing in its present form.

10K if you’re interested, because that’s what I have in it.

Try Dewey’s pawn in Greenville SC he keeps a few model 10’s around the shop. Ask to speak with Dewey though when you a call. Wrong caliber but I have one in 338 RPM down there that he has for sale for me

Thanks for the offer doc but at 10K wouldn't want to have to add funds into a rebarrel

Thanks for the suggestions gentlemen I've looked over everything on gunsinternational nothing of interest there.

In my experience there are more modestly priced Dakota 10s, and there are Model 10s with spectacular wood.

But I not found a modesty priced but spectacular Model 10.

Your mileage may vary. Since the Dakota chamberings go for less on the used market, maybe it will happen.

But I never have any trouble telling the difference between the rifles that sell for 4000 from the ones that bring more than twice that.

A 280 Rem Model 10 would be worth a lot more than one in a proprietary dakota caliber. If you haven't owned a Model 10, they are a joy to carry and nothing feels better in the hand. That being said, they cater to "the gentleman's calibers" where heavy for caliber bullets and mild recoil are popular. The most valuable model 10s are in calibers like 6.5x55, 6.5x54ms, 7x57, 257 roberts, 250-3000 savage, 280 remington, etc.

Inversely, the Model 10 is a MISERABLE gun to shoot in the potent calibers. I would not wish to own one in a dakota caliber, nor in 28 nosler, or 300 winmag, etc, etc. I had one in 300H&H which is a wonderful caliber, but the rifle kicked the snot out of me so I sold it immediately after my first safari. (used it for a giraffe and was done with it)

My daily driver is a Model 10 in 7x57, its about as close to perfection as I can imagine for a do-all rifle.

My advice would be to get the one in 280 Remington and give up on the dakota proprietary cartridges. You won't like what you buy if you go in that direction.

I know this isn’t exactly what you’re looking for but I have a Dakota model 97 built by Rifles Inc. It wears a black Mcmillan fiberglass stockthat I believe is modeled after the Remington mountain rifle. Only ever shot 140 grain ballistic tip and Accubonds through it and is very accurate. It has a fluted stainless steel barrel. Let me know if that interests you and I can get pics sent out.
I should add that I have a John Widden bushing full length sizing die, and a Forster bench rest seating die for it as well. And I believe 99 two times fired cases if you’re looking for wood, I’ll make you a good enough deal you can afford to buy a stock for it

I have had three Dakota 10s. I had one in a Dakota Chambering and it was really nasty to shoot.

I got rid of it and got one in 257 Roberts which was lovely.

I wanted a little more gun so settled on the 280.

I think the sweet spot on a Dakota 10 is a 7x57, 270,or 280. Plenty of cartridge without nasty recoil. I never want to shoot one in a magnum sized cartridge again,that is for certain.
