Daniel Defense DDM4 Hunter, 5.56mm, 18" Barrel, 1-32rd Magazine, Kryptek Highlander, Rifle

When your pursuit demands accuracy, reliability, and rugged performance, the Daniel Defense DDM4® Hunter 5.56 in Kryptek Highlander is built to answer the call. Purpose-engineered for the modern sportsman, this rifle blends the battle-proven DNA of Daniel Defense carbines with specialized refinements for hunting applications.

At the heart of the Hunter is an 18-inch Cold Hammer Forged S2W barrel, delivering exceptional precision across a wide range of hunting loads while ensuring durability that can withstand years of hard field use. The mid-length gas system balances reliability with reduced felt recoil, allowing for faster follow-up shots whether in dense timber or open country. Shielding the barrel is the MFR 15.0 free-floating handguard, complete with M-LOK slots at the 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions, and a continuous 1913 Picatinny rail up top—providing versatile mounting options for optics, bipods, and lights.

This model ships with a Geissele Super Semi-Automatic (SSA) two-stage trigger, a favorite among hunters and precision shooters alike, offering a clean, predictable break for enhanced shot placement. An ambidextrous safety selector and GRIP-N-RIP charging handle ensure both left- and right-handed shooters can confidently operate the rifle in any scenario.

The Kryptek Highlander camouflage finish provides exceptional concealment across a wide variety of environments, from hardwood ridges to arid plains. Outfitted with Daniel Defense’s proprietary buttstock and pistol grip, the Hunter ensures superior ergonomics and control even during long days in the field.
