The rifles you mentioned from PVA and also MPA would get my business if I was in the market for an entry level target/prs gun, before this DD at this same price point. I'm not, but their bolt gun quality is known. The DD isn't yet.
They are probably just looking to take some of the Rem 700 business and use their name to do so. This wont be a Accuracy International, or Cadex, or DT, or TRG, etc, etc. Should be a lower end 1moa durable hunting rifle with some features. Nothing new here at all. If you want a great rifle, contact GAP, Mile High, SAC, PVA, Gradous, LRI, and the list goes on and on. Hard pass for me here on the DD.
But like what mentioned above, time will tell. Everyone has to start somewhere..
Adding in that it's good for the industry to have new folks come in with new ideas and push the envelope. DD just has really stiff competition even if it's just a hunting rifle.
No business is going to make a new bolt gun and blow everyone out of the water on their first gun. Just not going to happen, but like Jake said, they gotta start somewhere. If I were buying a new gun it would be a Bergara, and if John Doe was buying, it would be plenty of DD fan boys. My guess, they have enough goodwill to carry them for a decent launch. They have earned it IMHO?
Always good to have new competition. I hope someone buys one and we get orange report. This thread has taught me about several makers I have never heard before, so thank you DD.
