Production started in 1990. With no sights, muzzle brake and no markings aside from "7mm Dakota" on the left side barrel. Beautiful casehardened action, action lever and trigger guard. The rifle is fitted with a Swarovski 3-9x36 scope mounted on casehardened scope rings and scope bases to match the receiver. The Dakota Arms model/address markings are ahead of the action lever, and the serial number is under the action lever. Checkered extra fancy exhibition grade Turkish walnut forearm and pistol grip stock fitted with a casehardened steel grip cap with a circle gold insert marked "A", sling swivel studs and a solid Pachmayr Decelerator rubber recoil pad.

Excellent with 99% plus of the original blue and casehardened finish with only slight handling marks. The wood is excellent with a few minor scratches on the stock. The checkering is crisp. The scope has clear optics. Mechanically excellent.
