Production started in 1990. Breech loading lever action with a beaded front and fixed rear express sight on a quarter rib. Beautiful casehardened receiver, action lever and trigger guard. Burris Short Mag scope mounted with casehardened rings to match the receiver. The Dakota Arms address is marked ahead of the action lever and the serial number is under the action lever. Checkered extra fancy grade English walnut pistol grip stock, fitted with a casehardened steel grip cap with "A" marked on the insert, sling studs and a solid rubber recoil pad.

Excellent overall, with 99& original blue finish, and 99% vibrant case colors. The wood is excellent, with minimal handling marks, attractive grain and crisp checkering. Scope is excellent, with clear optics. Mechanically excellent.
