Thats a nice rifle. It was a Dakota Arms Employee's Anniversary gun. Every 5 years on their employment anniversary they get to build a gun for cost and all the labor is free. I have seen a number of these guns and none of them take a back seat to anything that ever came out of Dakota Arms. That gun was unfired and is priced at about 2/3's of what the same gun new would be. When Dakota Arms was going under prior to Remington buying them out the guys were having trouble getting paid from what I was told and were selling their guns to pay the bills. That was too bad as they sold some really nice guns to make things work. There is also a Dakota 10 in .25-06 also on the web site that is even more spectacular. I think it is soon to be sold though but if you can find it take a look at that one.

I think the 7-08 is near deer perfect. that rifle is a fine one. I think I would buy a 1500 black rifle like a colt 6940 LE model before I bought a 4000 bolt rifle. www.atlanticfirearms.com/storeproduct761.aspxMy cost at my gun pusher is less than 1300. I would not have to worry about scratching it. Can;t use 7-08 for deer in Indiana, the Colt could server double or triple duty: Coyote gun, range gun, Self defense rifle.

I think I would pass on the 6940 and if I was going to buy that type of rifle I would probably look at a Sabre Defense instead. Tighter tolerances and more accurate from what I understand. Mil spec is good but not as good as the Sabre Defense.

I have learned of the years that tighter tolerances can be good and bad, usualy good if your a finicky expert type. but for Red and his type, lose as a goose comes to mind as good. LOL.

www.sabredefence.com/products.php#products/m4tacticalSweet but are they available after the ATF shut them down for a while? They are 1000 more than the Colt also. I myself like thing tight , I was thing to even justify the colt expense. Now i have to try to justify the extra 1000 for the sabre. Bill other than the piston system why do you feel they rock over the colt. Colt seems to be the mark setter as far as mil spec rifles. Are we talking sub moa rifle out of the box. I was just thinking target/plink/coyote/home land defense after picking up my AK. Never even considered them till I shot the AR in 260. I know a Rock River Arms is not what I want. Cerburas has changed my mind against DPMS and bush,aster/rem.

When it comes to AR's Tighter than Mil-Spec is a good thing when it comes to accuracy. Saber Defense has just about the tightest in the industry from what I understand and also the reason for the price. I have owned a couple AR's and they hit the road quick. Neither one of them would come close to the accuracy of my 700 VS and why own one if it won't. If it don't shoot good its a P>O>S. and no real good reason to own it. If I'm going to own some sort of AR it dam well better be able to shoot with a stock Rem 700 VS or it ain't staying. That is not asking much is it. I will say this though, I made 5 shots this last spring with that 700 and with those 5 shots shooting a handloaded .223 with a 50 grain Nosler BT and 26 grains of H335 and CCI BR primer and LC brass in about a 25-30 MPH wind and shooting down a canyon that looked like a snake which really raised havoc with the bullet I made 2 hits. One at 636 and the other at 595 on Prairie Dogs. Try that with most AR's and you will kick it to the curb real fast. It takes a really really good AR to keep up with a box stock 700 Rem VS and that is the reason I do not own a AR any more. To throw more wood on the fire a friend of mine and I shot PD's a couple years ago together. At 450 yds he would just about empty a clip on a PD and finally quit. I would pull up and knock it over with one shot. "He would say how are you doing that He had almost twice the price in his AR Bushmaster SS Varmint as I did and I did that quite frequently to him. ;D Past 400 yds he just could not get a hit on PD's on a regular basis. Under he did very well. But when you want to hit something very precisely at any kind of distance it takes a very high priced AR to come close and for that kind of money I can have two Rem 700's

I'm sure there are some really accurate rifles built on the AR platform. The idea leaves me cold, however, when I think about carefully prepped match brass being flung into the grass. . .
