What a shame. This is certainly not good for the quality of Dakota Arms, I suspect. Whenever a low volume, specialty shop gets purchased by a high volume, mass production shop, quality will suffer as they look for ways to leverage technology, increase efficiency, raise profits, and streamline resources. Will the model 76 fade away? Will the round action model 97 be made with Remington actions? We'll see.
From what I have read recently along with visiting with some who have purchased Dakota's lately, think their quality has already suffered a bit unfotunately...
