DD is making a bolt action rifle

[Coal Dragger]

It’s a $1600 rifle, $2100 is a hard pass from me.

The fact that DD website lists rifles at 300-400 dollars over what im seeing them in store, I'm betting this rifle will be closer to 1800-1900 street price after the initial hype.

Great point.

[Coal Dragger]

Still a bit too much at that price point.

I appreciate the detailed responses. This thread will be a good resource for research. I haven’t gotten serious about sourcing a LR/PRS, but now I realize that there is more that I don’t know than I thought.

I originally had a Bergara or Ruger as my starting point and that would put DD’s rifle right there in comparison, but it sounds like one can get quite a bit more rifle for not much more money. I already knew that I wasn’t taking the Remmy 700 route.

DD will sale plenty of these, based off of their name alone, and I hope they do. So, there should be plenty of performance data available. Now, it just depends upon how quickly they are ready to get them out.

Better off finding a used AIAT for 32-3400-think long term.

Ever worry you guys buying a gun $3K plus and the barrel shot to shit?

Just have to know the round count, usually see the .308's with no more than 1-2k if that. Last 6.5 I saw had 800.

Rip it off and spin on a new one. Barrels are consumables.

Yes you do, and most peeps buy their guns more than they shoot them.
