Have you tried First Stop Guns? Also look on Guns International, I've had good luck on that site.
I was going to suggest First Stop also.
Look on their web page they have a beauty of a rimfire right now.

You find a good pre-remington dakota snatch it up. I have a varminter, it has the little single shot nesika action, it came with full figure wood, the jewell trigger option, krieger barrel in 6x47L and is a one hole shooter, way too nice to carry though. Every part of it even the bedding is flawless. And it comes with a practical test target.

The fit and finish on my Dakota Varminter in 17 Fireball is nicer than anything I've seen. Including many cooper's. Shoots bug holes, wood is beautiful , and as mentioned above the bedding is nothing short of astonishingly great.
I agree. And to be fair, these were basically small Nesika actions, with bedding and fitment from the Nesika team, with the Dakota brand engraved on it. They were very good and nice looking rifles. I didn't consider these in the original/classic Dakota hunting-type rifles assortment.

Look up Larry Olsen Auction. There has been 8 auctions already and I think 2 more. All kinds of Kimbers, Coopers and some Dakotas have sold. Most of the rifles will be NIB.

agreed, Last few years of Montana coopers should have come with a disclaimer on shipping box and in manual saying "some assembly required". I still have a few older coopers but only seeking more Dakotas
pre-remington Dakotas are so vastly superior to coopers. I had as many as 14 coopers. that was until I discovered Dakota
My Dakota Varminter 17 FB is so much superior to the two coopers I had owned. Only thing I have ever done to a Dakota is replace an occasional trigger with a Jewell trigger.

I took my trigger apart and stoned/resprung it. It is now a crisp 1.5lbs. Factory trigger was around 3.5lbs.....much too heavy for a light Varminter.
Other than that, perfect from the factory

I wish my 6x47L was a tiny caliber
