Additional Information

The Dakota Model 76 was designed to merge the legendary reliability of the Mauser 98 action with the classic lines of an American hunting rifle. Chambered in .416 Rigby, this African variant was purpose-built for safari and dangerous game applications, offering unparalleled feed reliability and strength under extreme conditions. The rifle’s controlled-round-feed system and non-rotating claw extractor were selected specifically to handle heavy, dangerous-game cartridges where failure is not an option. Dakota Arms built these rifles in small numbers, emphasizing quality over volume, making this a standout piece for both collectors and serious hunters alike.
