Adding options to the previous line of Delta 5 Pro rifles, Daniel Defense released the shorter 16-inch Delta 5 Pro<\/a> at SHOT Show 2022. Offering shorter barrels with a 0.5 MOA guarantee with factory match-grade ammo, this new line of Delta 5 Pro’s is built to perform!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buyers can score barrel lengths from 16-20 inches chambered in either .308 or 6.5 Creedmoor. Barrels are also interchangeable and made so that swapping calibers is easy due to a proprietary barrel nut. Finished with a black Cerakote, these barrels should hold up well against the elements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Incorporating a Timney Elite Hunter trigger, the interface on this rifle is fantastic. We got to dry fire it on the SHOT Show floor and the trigger was fantastic. Daniel Defense also added an ergonomic thumb rest that can be installed on the left or right-hand side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The action is mechanically-bedded stainless steel with an integral recoil lug. This rifle features a three-lug bolt with a floating bolt head and a 60-degree throw. The oversized bolt knob is also removable. Incorporating a 20 MOA Picatinny rail to the top, this rifle will give you more elevation adjustments to dial in your scope. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Utilizing an integral ARCA rail along the entire lower portion of the handguard gives many options for mounting accessories. The rail also features a scalloped cut along the top to allow for scopes with a lower height over bore, and an extended pic rail to allow Nightvision and Thermal clip-ons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Including an adjustable buttstock, users will be able to finely tune the length of pull, butt pad height, and cheek riser to best fit their preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Available now, and aiming to ship in February, the Daniel Defense Delta 5 Pro is going to be a tack driver. Coming in with an MSRP of $2,499, this may be the most accurate sub $2,500 gun on the market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
