Parkwest Arms

Anyone try one?
Formerly Dakota Arms
They look real nice, as we all know looks Aint everything.
Curious how they shoot specifically the ACE Model.
Thanks in advance.

I have not. I wonder if they are using a Neseika Bay pattern action? If so, it would have great accuracy potential. Beautiful rifles, I'm sure they are pricey.

I am thinking you /or I could melt the numbers off of a credit card at that place.

Actions are a scaled down round Nesika type action that Glen Davis?? designed before he left Dakota/Nesika after Remington's folks took over the company. Think medium Sako. They take Remington type triggers. Don't know what Park West is using for barrels, Dakota used Douglas Premium. Stocks are very nice classic designs and inletting/ bedding is first class. All my comments based on Dakota. I have a bunch of these and they are all shooters as well as pleasing to the eye. Looks like the price went up about 20% after Park West took over, but probably still a good value in today's custom rifle market.

I have two Ace models, both the heavy barrel configuration. ParkWest still uses Douglas barrels, and they shoot very well. They come with Timney triggers now. The previous Dakota Varminter had a different trigger in factory form, but you could upgrade. They also have great balance.
