That must be dead on spot, what caliber and at what distance?

Banswara was an erstwhile princely state in India now Rajasthan. It was ruled by many dynasties led by Maharajas or Princes. Quite possibly this gun belonged to one of them.

No 24 Rakt Pyasi meaning Blood Thirsty 840 No State- Banswara

Agree, not worth anything, bad shooting, placement etc

I'm no expert, but this is what Krieghoff replied to my inquiry - Krieghoff said: Dear Sir; Thank you for your inquiry. Generally speaking, yes, you can use solid copper bullets in our Classic Double Rifle. However, it is a hunting gun and not a match rifle and a large number of solid bullets...

I dont know what the price was but I am curious as the scope itself is worth north of 2K

Price, the cost of a barrel especially magnum calibers, bolt head if different, and magazine can quickly add up and exceed the price of a new rifle. For my Sauer 404, I was looking to add a 7mm Remington to my 9.3X62, cost Barrel - 2K, Bolt head $400, Magazine $450 total 3K.

Both my guns, scope, ammo were bought here, great guys and awesome selection of all types.

The Dakota in 7mm looks nice, if it were priced around 4K I would have been interested. Has a serial no of 0247, does it mean it is a earlier version?

True that

Dakotas that I see elsewhere with all bells and whistles aren’t cheap

I think you are referring to Cape buffalo meat as very tough. Some other varieties (water buffalo)are eaten as beef

Is this priced right? https://gordyandsons.com/dakota-76-400-h-h-mag2024-01362/

Thanks, What do you mean by select grades, please elaborate is model BGR 89 a select grade?. CRF would be nice but not mandatory. Wood stock for sure.

Dakotas seem to at least maintain their price or appreciate in many cases..
