Mine is but a simple Merkel K3 in 7X57R. Just acquired. Will be reloading for it soon. Have a bunch of Norma Oryx 156 grain with which I will play, and will begin the search for white tail this autumn...

I took The Dakota #10 243 Win to the range the last couple of days.

I shot some factory ammo and reloads.

Most everything I shot was under a 1" group for 3 shots at 100 yards!
I'm very impressed that it shoots so easily.

I'm not crazy about the rifle not having an ejector like the Ruger #1 but rather an extractor. With that it's a bit of a pain to operate at the range.

But beautiful rifle that seems to shoot well! I will be fun to hunt pests with....

my #3 in 45-70 shoots with the best of them, 300 gr hornady with 50 grs H4198 for 2000 fps. my #1 also like that load, both shot from a rest at 100 yards.

I had my Ruger 1-S in .475 Linebaugh out today to the range. Shot well, likes the 400 gr Hornady XTP very well.
Mine is the 22" barrel, not the stubby .

Did you ever have issues with this chipping wood from the stock? My 10ga h&r pardoner did when I shot tss through it.
thriller,
I always reinforce (bed) the butt stock and for-end for that reason, see in the photo that the receiver and butt stock junction have a brass spacer, it is epoxy bedded. Brian

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!
