I feel very qualified to speak on this since I owned a DD5V1 up until last week. I ONLY sold it to step into a KAC SR-25 ACC. The DD is an EXCELLENT gun. I liked everything about it. It’s a 1/11 twist, do it shoots the Federal 168 GMM fantastically. Always sub MOA. It’s light, super reliable, can’t recall any problems with it. It was seriously the last gun I thought I’d sell. I just got into a KAC SR-25 for a great price from a buddy who has several, and I had to see what all the hype is about. Nothing I didn’t like about the DD. If you go that route, I’d be surprised if you didn’t enjoy it.
