DDM4 V7 or Troy Carbine?

[Prion]

I'm looking to buy either a DDM4 V7 or a Troy carbine. They are both listed for $1399 but the DD has no sights so it will end up being a couple hundred more. It will be my one AR for range/defense but it is not my first.

Thoughts on the two guns? Is the DD worth $200 more?

I'm leaning DD but would really appreciate some knowledgable opinions.

Thanks,

In my opinion? Yes, it is worth having to pay for sights to get the Daniel Defense. Right now, even though things are starting to calm down, that is a great price. I would be very surprised to find one less than $1500 where I am at.

I would say get the DD and don't look back.

Both are great rifles but I would definitely pick the Daniel Defense if I could only have one.

A good set of fixed irons doesn't cost much at all - well under $100. If you are look at folding irons, you can do like me and grab a set of Troy Folding Battlesights for $150 on sale.

I'd also get the DDM4V7.

I don't have first hand experience with the Troy but bought a DDM4V3 lightweight three years ago and for me it's excellent in every way. It's really hard to beat Daniel Defense, I'd get one again.

Thanks guys, hope to pick it up the DD tomorrow.

DD all the way. One of the best AR manufacturers out.

You'd be getting a great gun either way.

I remember Dick's Sporting Goods selling those Troy carbines for under $800 on Black Friday weekend of last year. Some folks got a heck of a deal.

And the rest of the folks had their orders cancelled. Some of those folks has Dick's try to issue them store credit only instead of a refund for a fully paid for rifle!

Dick's is awful.

The DD carbines are excellent.

yep, Dick's really put some rude moves on the troy carbine buyers. I havent shopped at at dick's since and won't.
