WANTED Cooper or Dakota with nice wood / options

My personal suggestion... Go with the Cooper. Dakota's are GROSSLY overrated. The Dakota wood was good, perhaps even great, but the rifles....meh.
200 yard target super slick Nesika action..
I’m very happy with my Dakota…
Oh.. it’s a .280AI

very nice, I was told by Ricky at Dakota I would see my Nesika action shipped within 5 days. Never got it , they closed in 3 days.........................Have since acquired 5 Nesika/Dakotas in "as new or new in box". always looking for more in same condition.

Dakota has always been a custom shop. I toured the facility just after the Remington buy-out. I'd be very surprised if the craftsmen who build the guns changed when their headquarters changed hands. I've owned a Model 10 and have a couple of Coopers, one a custom classic which is their mid grade model. The Coopers shoot very well - especially the Custom classic but I would not put them in the same category as the Dakotas in fit and finish.
 
Still looking for Dakota or Cooper rimfire or varmint calibers with nice wood. THX!
Have two Dakotas, will sell one.
Model 10, 20 TAC, 26” barrel, English walnut, with cheekpiece, pristine, Leupold 6.5-20X in Talley mounts. 1/2” gun. Some Lapua cases. Came as custom order from First Stop.
Do some research, make me an offer I’ll send pics.
