It seems like everyone that plays big boy ball in the defense sector is shifting to .338 Lapua Magnum for extreme long range, and IWI most certainly falls in that defense sector category.
The DAN Precision rifle from IWI is an interesting .338 Lapua Magnum bolt-action rifle with a lot of potential.
OVERVIEW
Enter the Dan .338 Lapua Magnum, a magazine fed, bolt action, precision rifle in a chassis type stock. We had the opportunity to see an early version of this rifle at SHOT Show 2017.
The chassis is made from one solid piece of aluminum to ensure strength, and features a full length top Picatinny rail for optics, night vision, and laser needs. Additional rail sections can be added at the 9 and 3 as needed.
The buttstock is a side folder, a real necessity on a gun this long, as most .338 guns are. It is also skeletonized to save weight, and features adjustability for length, cheek weld, and toe placement. The magazine release is ambidextrous, and two magazines come with the system.
SPECS
Although they did not have a full press sheet on the DAN rifle available, they did tell is chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum, ambidextrous safety system, approximately 15 pounds, removable trigger pack, has a side-folding stock and is priced at $8,999.
IMPRESSION
This is the first bolt-action precision rifle that IWI has introduced to the US market, and hopes are high. We didn’t get to fire the Dan, but from handling it we do know this. The ergonomics feel good, and its relatively light for a gun of this caliber. The gun is balanced, controls are easy to reach and instinctive, and the trigger is incredible. The bolt runs smoothly, and you can feel the quality of machining every time you cycle it. The IWI Dan is sure to make a big splash in the precision market.

I have enjoyed the rifles I paid over $10 k for.
Both were 3 barrel sets, 308, 300W and 338 LM
A Barrett- and a Balistica
I have spent more money and time on hand loads and training, then the rifles.
I want to excell at all the shoting skills as far as I can.
What does this fat guy know about guns?
The belt size is a cheap shot.
I will accept a 1,000 yd shooting challenge.
I’m reasonably sure this is a fantastic rifle, as most IWI products are… but it’s just too much cost when there are so many other less expensive options available. I’ll be the first in this thread to remind readers of the Ruger Precision Rifle and NEMO for semi-autos. I own the Barrett MRAD in 338 and love it. The 2nd Amendment Lives!!!
For 9 grand I would get a custom Surgeon rifle and Nightforce scope
Under $ 2 K made in USA…Nuff said.

DRUM ROLL / The price is $8,999.( prostitution where you pay to get screwed ) 20rds – 338 Lapua Black Hills 250gr. Sierra MatchKing Ammo $109.99
BUY A MAN\’s GUN Barrett 50 BMG and shoot it for less than $4 a round !
Does anybody even question these prices on these things anymore? For a unproven package too, with less “handmade” and time than ever before with the advancement of machining tech. I guess we have to pay for the CNC to get the gun soon at this rate? I’m sorry it just gets to me all these reviews just seem to prance rite by a $9,000 price like its totally justifiable? I’m sure the gun is top notch but now come on its not a dang laser gun folks its still based on same old premise of guns!
I agree on the price tag, and to be fair we didn’t get to shoot it. I wouldn’t recommend it until we get to do a full review, but SHOT Show is mostly just about new releases. This may be worth $9k, and it may not. Look for a full review this spring, and that should help us all make a better informed decision.
