Daniel Defense 3 Gun Rifle & New .308 – SHOT Show 2015

Daniel Defense came to the SHOT Show this year with news that will make 3-gun shooters pleased. They’ve released a version of their DDM4–the V11 Pro–that is specifically designed for competitive shooters. This is a bit of a departure for Daniel Defense, but a no-brainer, as competitive shooters have been using their guns now for years.

What sets this gun apart? In short, all of the upgrades you’d want to make to a typical DD rifle (especially for competition shooting) have already been made. The slim rail, the Bravo Company charging handle, the Geissele trigger–all things that, if purchased separately, would mount up quick. And it has an 18″ hammer forged barrel, too. With the rifle length gas system and the muzzle climb mitigator, this should be a ridiculously easy gun to shoot.

There are bigger things coming, too. Much bigger. Daniel Defense’s first .308 should be out this spring.

Attention to detail really sets Daniel Defense apart. This QD mount is very well placed.

And the whole thing is even more effective with the Geissele trigger.
