Dakota Arms 76 Safari 416 Rigby

[hoguer]

I’ve come to the sad realization that I don’t have any more dangerous game hunts coming up in the next decade so I figured it was time to let my rifle go to a new home that can use it to its potential.
I’ve taken 2 cape buffalo, lion, sable, kudu, zebra, blue wildebeest, gemsbok, waterbuck, dik dik, jakal, and probably some more animals I cannot recall at this moment with it. It’s always shot well.
I have removed the Swaro from it in favor of open sight configuration for an ele hunt that never materialized but it includes the rings and bases.
I have dies, brass and bullets as well.
Looking for $6500 including accessories and a nice soft case.
Located in central California and would be happy to do a face to face transaction with a local buyer.
I’ll have more detailed photos this week.
It’s a used rifle, has been on several safaris and shows some “love” aka light wear.

Beautiful rifle! Wish I could afford it.

I've owned 2 of these and they are my favorite African rifle. They punch way above their price point and are an excellent value. I just sold all of my doubles and kept this model as my best DG rifle. You can't beat a Dakota Rigby for even 2x the money. This one is proven and needs to stay in the AH family! Just buy it and quit looking for the best rifle because this is one of them!

Nice, sending PM

If the rifle includes the optic, sure. I’ll take a dakota and a z8 optic for $6500

Good Value at $6,500…

Is it sold or was my offer to buy accepted?

The z8 is not included in the sale, as the listing says it’s been removed but the bases and rings are included

Getting a lot of questions. Answers to a few of the common ones:
Muzzle is threaded 5/8-24
Rings are 30mm diameter
Rifle has approximately 150-200 rounds down the barrel
I purchased it from the son of the original owner who said his father never ended up going to Africa and was likely unfired when I purchased it.
Loads were 350gr TSX and 400gr Nosler Solids over H4831sc
Serial number is under #100, I’ll give more details to serious buyers but it’s an early Dakota
