Dakota Model 76
A few decades ago, a commercial airline pilot and custom gun enthusiast named Don Allen set out to build the finest rifle that he could. The Dakota Model 76 was the result. The Dakota was based on the legendary Pre-64 Winchester Model 70, with a couple of unique innovations thrown in. Unlike most production guns, Dakota 76s are machined from bar stock rather than forged or cast. The result is a graceful and reliable design for hunters who aren’t afraid to put their money where their mouth is. Jaw-dropped walnut is common on Dakotas and the fit and finish is on-par with all but the best custom gunmakers.
