A New Breed of Bolt-Action Rifle: Daniel Defense Delta5

The Daniel Defense Delta5 comes ready for hunting seasons and long-range competition. With the pedigree of Daniel Defense’s history in the modern sporting rifle market, the company’s first bolt action rifle is a winner right out of the box. There’s a user-interchangeable cold hammer forged barrel and a stainless-steel action that is mechanically bedded and uses an integral recoil lug. The three-lug bolt has a 60-degree throw, floating bolt head and the bolt knob itself is removeable for easy alteration. The action is mechanically bedded, with the mini chassis and metalwork done in 6061 hard coat anodized aluminum.

The trigger really shines with a single-stage, adjustable Timney Elite Hunter, with settings from one-and-a-half to four-and-a-half pounds. The two-position safety moves quietly in the field, while the ambidextrous magazine release is easily accessible. The included picatinny scope base has 20 MOA of elevation, meaning less adjustment for longer-range shooting. The muzzle is threaded at 5/8 x24 TPI with a thread protector and a recessed crown for additional protection.
