Daniel Defense Delta 5 Pro — any good?

[xrMike]

Anybody own one of these, or shot one, or know somebody who owns one?

I don't own a bolt gun yet, but the idea of owning JUST ONE VERY GOOD ONE appeals to me. Something I could take out to 1K, with practice and my own good ammo.

The idea of buying all the parts and building a rifle myself, or paying somebody to build one, does not appeal to me. This rifle comes with a 0.5 MOA guarantee out of the box and needs nothing but glass, and a bipod maybe. It is intended for Precision Rifle Series (PRS) matches and retails for $2500. It has a CHF barrel (which is better than button- or single-point cut barrels, right?)

I think this gun came out fairly recently and I've not paid much attention to bolt-gun interweb chatter or forums previously, so is there any consensus among PRS or other long-range shooters on this one yet?

Or can you spend less money on some other rifle and still get these same features and performance?

I also think it just looks "cool AF".

Thanks!

PRS rifles are very heavy. If that's okay with you, there are lots of them made for Production class. MPA, for example, makes 3 and 4 thousand dollar rifles, and also makes a $2500 Production rifle. So do many other builders. If you just want a very accurate one and aren't wanting PRS-like features, I think the Springfield Armory Waypoint is a lot lighter. The other thing about PRS is they're all short action and usually a 6mm of some kind. If you want some more punch, a more general purpose rifle like the Waypoint might be what you want.

Single point cut are generally considered better than CHF and button rifling.

For a $2500 Production rifle, I would go with GA Precisions PPR. However, it's only available in 6mm Creedmoor and 6GT. You also get a Bartlein barrel, which I assume is single point cut rifling.

I shoot some PRS and 6GT is my cartridge of choice.

The DD D5P is a nice rifle. Good to start with if you don't know much about bolt rifles. I'm sure it's available with more than 2 chamberings. Although i do not have any exp. with this rifle.

I would start with 6.5Creedmoor chamber/cartridge as a new bolt rifle shooter.

OP, you should look into the Savage 110 Elite Precision line, many calibers available, I have the 223 Rem. A friend has the 6mm Creedmoor, but barrel life is very short in that caliber. PRS rifles are heavy, but many customizable features parts you can go pretty crazy. I'm planning taking mine out to 700 yards in couple weeks.

A good looking rifle at a good price
