Developed by Don Allen and Pete Grisel in 1986, the Dakota 76 exemplifies the very best of bolt-action innovation with the exquisite lines and impeccable shot to shot precision created only through the individual attention of Dakota craftsmen. The action combines the best features of the pre-64 Model 70, with a Mauser-type extractor for controlled round feed and ultra-positive extraction. Guaranteed 1” accuracy on all Dakota rifles gives the shooter the confidence to make the shot count.

The Dakota Model 76 controlled round feeding and positive extraction with the extractor beneath the locking lug and positioned at the end of the bolt, opens fully to insure that the next round feeds smoothly. The three position safety allows the bolt to be operated with the safety on. The one piece trigger guard and hinged floorplate are machined from solid bar stock. This Dakota 76 was custom tailored in .404 Jeffery with several optional features listed below.
