Performance & Ballistics
Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, the DD5 V4 benefits from modern match and hunting bullet designs that deliver flat trajectories, high retained energy, and excellent long-range hit probability. The 18" barrel produces a pleasing balance of velocity and portability — ideal for precision work, hunting applications, and target shooting at extended distances.
Ergonomics & Use Cases
