IWI DAN .338: born for tactical uses and now soon available also in the civilian market

Designed by famed engineer Nehemiah Sirkis and first introduced on the MIL/LE markets at the 2014 edition of the EUROSATORY expo in Paris (France), the IWI DAN is a high-accuracy rifle delivering some of the highest standards of performance in reliability, ruggedness and sub-MOA accuracy in the .338 Lapua Magnum caliber.

«Having the extraordinary DAN .338 in the IWI US catalog is a complement to our current product line-up,» commented Michael Kassnar, Vice-President of sales & marketing for IWI U.S.
Until now, we did not have a bolt-action rifle, but then IWI does not believe in filling in its product line-up with just any firearm.
Every product that comes out of IWI is meticulously designed, seriously engineered and manufactured and put right into action on the battlefield as its final test. Only those firearm systems that exceed their expectations become an IWI firearm.
For serious shooters and long-range competitors, the DAN is the ultimate rifle.»
