270 DAKOTA
This is a custom rifle built on a Remington 700 action. It has a 26-inch Shilen stainless steel fluted barrel. A Jewel trigger was installed and the action was bedded into a McMillan Remington classic synthetic stock. All metal parts were Teflon coated, and the stock was finished in black to match the rest of the rifle. This is a wildcat based on the 7mm Dakota case.
Leupold 2.5 – 8 scope in Leupold bases and rings was installed.
Dakota brass and Federal 215 magnum primers were used throughout the tests.
All groups are 3 shots at 100 yards.
