Dakota 76 Safari .375 H&H Magnum. A superb early rifle almost certainly custom ordered, serial 3002 has a 24-inch barrel (tapers to .710 muzzle diameter, banded front sight with brass-beaded blade and flip-up moon sight, banded sling swivel stud and an island rear sight with a notched express blade). Features include a magnum-length action, full-length extractor for true controlled round feeding and extraction, three-position safety, hidden bolt release, cloverleaf tang, drop box magazine (4+1 capacity, snaps over “dropped in” rounds), inside-the-bow floorplate release button and timed screws. Metal finish is an elegant rust blue. Stocked from a AAA-grade blank with heavy full-length figure, appointments include an ebony forend tip, 24 lines-per-inch wrap checkering, double crossbolts with ebony plugs, open pistol grip with steel cap, scalloped cheek rest with shadow line, inletted sling swivel stud, Dakota Arms-marked recoil pad and satin finish. DIMENSIONS: Weight is 8.6 pounds and the length-of-pull is 14.5 inches. CONDITION: Likely unfired since proof and certainly never hunted (no evidence of mount attachment), the bore is strong and bright. Metal and wood finishes are at least 99 percent with only trace evidence of handling. No box or papers.
