Daniel Defense Pathfinder - Limited-Edition Frogskin Rifle

I don’t have a Daniel Defense, but a lot of my friends do and I see them on the range on a regular basis. I hear very few complaints, so it seems like they know how to build semi-autos. A few years back, as we evaluated some LPVO optics, we were shooting 55 grs at over 700 yards, with very confident hits with a DD.
There’s now a limited-edition Daniel Defense rifle called Pathfinder. Essentially, this is a DD4 V7 SLW in a Frogskin Cerakote finish, with a Geissele SSP Trigger, featuring a Primary Arms Compact PLxC 1-8 in FDE mounted with a Badger Ordnance FDE C.O.M.M. scope mount, and finished with a SilencerCo ASR Muzzle Brake, 1/2x28 threading.
The deal also includes an Edgar Sherman Design / Onward Research frogskin sling, 3x Railscales HTP XOS, Rite in the Rain Land Nav Kit, 2x QD swivels, a Valley OG Frogskin Pocket New Testament, Royal Case Hard Roller Waterproof Case, 52", a certificate of authenticity, and a challenge coin.
Key Features:
