[QUOTE="Shan, post: 421400, member: 19064"] Just a bit aside: I'm just getting my Dakota build finished at the mo and it comes in at 9lbs (just a bit under) with a NF 5.5-22. Used mcmillan hunters edge, trued remington 700, Talleys lightweight rings, alloy bolt shroud and firing pin. Nice and light for carrying around, but I have a brake on it otherwise it won't be nice to shoot. Expensive to get running with the brass etc, dies are not too bad as sinclair can get you some from redding. If you don't want a brake on your rifle go for the 280AI (like mentioned above), as there is no need to open up the bolt face aand its mild recoiling (at least the ones I shot are). From talking with my gunsmith a 06 boltface can be opened up for the Dakota, but it gets a bit tricky (and costly) with feeding etc so he built mine on a 300 win mag action. Anyway, hope that helps [/QUOTE]
