My New 450 Dakota

[tarbe]

Came in this week - thanks Cody!

AHR build...bought from an estate after the death of the owner.

Has a really great trigger...I might get spoiled.

The LOP is a little short for me at 13 5/8. Need to get it to 14 to 14 1/4 to be ideal.

It is also butt light for me...I will want to balance it out.

Shot it today for the first time...very nice! Very comfortable with plinking loads of 500gr at 1,830fps. Will start cranking it up!

@tarbe : Tim, as good as those photos look, your new rifle looks even better in person. You shot if very well too, despite the slightly shorter LOP.

I don’t think it gets any better than that

Tim, that rifle is outstanding. Now you need to get it engraved by the same gal that works for Krieghoff.

So you know that action is still tight....
