The Daniel Defense DDM4 Hunter in .300 Blackout is a premium AR-platform rifle designed specifically for hunters and sport shooters. The rifle features an 18-inch cold hammer-forged barrel with a 1:8 twist rate, optimized for both supersonic and subsonic .300 Blackout ammunition. The barrel is topped with Daniel Defense's Superior Suppression Device (SSD) muzzle device, which helps reduce muzzle flash and facilitates suppressor attachment. The rifle utilizes Daniel Defense's MFR XL 15.0 M-LOK handguard, providing a sleek profile while offering multiple attachment points for accessories. The rifle's salt bath nitride-finished bolt carrier group ensures reliable operation and corrosion resistance. Built on forged 7075-T6 aluminum upper and lower receivers, the DDM4 Hunter incorporates ambidextrous controls and Daniel Defense's enhanced furniture, including their glass-filled polymer pistol grip and buttstock. The rifle features a Geissele SSA two-stage trigger for precise shot control, and the entire platform is finished in Cerakote for enhanced durability and weather resistance. The rifle weighs approximately 7.3 pounds unloaded and comes with a 5-round magazine to comply with hunting regulations in most states. Overall length is 35.75 inches with the stock extended, making it maneuverable in hunting blinds and stands while maintaining accuracy at extended ranges.
