Dakota Predator 20 Tactical Range Report

[magnumpower]

I just received my 20 Tactical back from Dakota where it was repaired due a firing pin/bolt face problem some of the early production models were experiencing. The turn around time was about 3 months but it was well worth the wait. This is the perfect varmint rifle. It is light enough for a walkabout gun but has the accuracy qualities of a benchrest rifle. I was able to shoot one group before dark[32 gr Sierra Blitzking /25.0 v-v n133] off the bipod [.299 for 5 shots with 4 going into .2][ Leupold 12x with target dot] I will update when I rework 40 gr loads.

That's a rifle I've always wanted. That's some good shooting too! You don't happen to have a picture of the rifle do you?

I am looking forward to the pics. I would love to have a Dakota of any sort but yours in .204 really sounds great.

Here are the pics of the rifle and the group. Note the size of the bolt and bolt body. The tactical setup of the swivel studs and the paint scheme were added on by Dakota at my request.
