The Daniel Defense DD5 V5 is a semi-automatic rifle optimized for long-range precision shooting, available in 6.5 Creedmoor or .260 Rem. Both cartridges are known for their superior ballistic coefficients, providing flatter trajectories and reduced wind drift compared to traditional long-action calibers. This allows shooters to extend their effective range to over 1,000 meters with minimal recoil. The rifle features a user-adjustable gas block, ensuring consistent performance whether shooting suppressed or unsuppressed, and a superfinished, DLC-coated bolt carrier group for reduced recoil and easy maintenance. The DD5 V5 is built for durability and accuracy with its 20" Cold Hammer Forged barrel made from proprietary steel and chrome-lined for long-term reliability. Key features include a 4-Bolt Connection System for enhanced precision, a GRIP-N-RIP ambidextrous charging handle with anti-gas properties, and a rifle-length +1 gas system. Constructed from CNC-machined 7075-T6 aluminum, the upper and lower receivers are robust, while the handguard is compatible with M-LOK attachments. The rifle also accepts all SR-25 magazines and is manufactured in the USA. The Hunter variant of the DD5 V5 offers the same long-range capabilities but is tailored specifically for hunting enthusiasts.
