    To me it would come down to the rail on the Colt. If it's a good rail that is equal to the DD, then I'd take the Colt. If not then I'd go DD.

    Colt has a Troy rail. Good, but not as good as DD. So the rifles themselves are roughly equal in quality?

    Id go DD then. I would take a Daniel Defense rail over a Troy, but that more of a personal preference thing.

    As for quality Id say its a wash. The Daniel Defense has nicer parts than Colt but I wouldnt say its better quality.

    DD is known to be over-gassed.

    It depends on how you define "nicer"

    A DD rifle will have better cosmetics. The Colt will be more dimensionally in spec.

    It's both their 11.5" and 10.3" barrels. It could be others.

    Thanks for the replays so far. I was leaning toward the DD until I started seeing a few remarks about early DDV1s from the Savannah days not being so hot. Of course, some say Colt quality is down. O Wizened Ones, what say you?

    Colt quality has never been down.
