The Daniel Defense DD5 V5 in 6.5 Creedmoor (brand part no. 02-165-30063-055) is the company’s California-compliant 10-round long-range AR-10-pattern rifle, built around a 20-inch cold hammer forged barrel with a 1:8 twist. The user-adjustable gas block lets you tune the rifle for reliable suppressed or unsuppressed shooting, and the superfinished, DLC-coated bolt carrier group is easy to clean. A free-floating M-LOK rail holds optics and accessories, and the independently operating ambidextrous charging handle adds anti-gas features. The rifle ships with no sights installed. For a shooter who wants a precise, soft-shooting 6.5 Creedmoor semi-auto, the DD5 V5 is a premium platform.
