I’ve owned 2 of their AR-15 rifles and 2 of their AR-15 pistols and they have been extremely reliable and amazingly accurate. More so than some of the “name brand” AR’s I’ve owned in the past.
Now considering one of their AR-10 Platforms in .308
What saith the Campfire ??? Based on personal experience. Not internet rumors!

I have friends that have both 308 and 6.5, 2 of the 3 shot tiny little groups, the other had an issue with the crown, DB sent out a replacement barrel and it too shot tiny little groups.
I need to get my hands on the "bad" barrel and see if re-crowning it will solve the problem. DB sent a replacement barrel with no questions asked or for the old barrel back. The rifles were really well finished and worked out of the box with no tweaking or fiddling.
I think you'll be happy

Yep. That’s been my experience with their .556 / 223 guns too.
My nephew has one in .300 BO that also runs flawlessly and is very accurate too.

I know there are lots of Diamondback nay sayers, but I've only known of one incident that an owner actually had issues with his gun, and I want to say it was the gas block that was the issue. I was looking at their AR10 platform. but decided to just stick with my AR15's and not add to the collection at the moment. I say get it, and let us know how it does.

That’s what I’m thinking too. 🤠
Or maybe a pistol in 300 BO

They build solid airboats. I've heard pistols are crap. Have no clue.
Sounds like they can't be all bad from what I'm reading.
Let us know.

I'm running one of their 10's in 6.5.
NO issues!
I did change triggers because I just couldn't abide by the 2 stage trigger, especially with gloves on.
And I did put an adjustable gas block on it to run with the suppressor.
Always way more than adequately accurate.
