The New Daniel Defense Delta5 - The Company's First Bolt-Action Rifle (SHOT Recap - Facebook Live)

February 12, 2019 By Joe Kriz

If you want to get a sense of the direction of the shooting sports, hunting and outdoor accessory industry, look no further than the annual SHOT Show. The largest showcase of new product introductions, each year carries a theme. This year, unconventional products from traditional companies grabbed our attention.

Known for AR-15/ M4 rifles and accessories, it’s no surprise the new Daniel Defense Delta5—the company’s first bolt-action rifle—combines the modularity of their AR platform with custom features sought after by professionals in law enforcement, military and competitive shooting.

Initially chambered in .308 Win, 6.5 Creedmoor and 7mm-08, the Delta5 provides a custom long-range shooting experience directly out-of-the box. National Sales Manager, Matt Hurt, walked our Joe Kriz through the rifle’s design, including the original action, ergonomic stock, and interchangeable barrel. MSRP of the Delta5 is $2,199.

Hurt also touched on the company’s new 7- and 9-inch Omega Rails, now in both KeyMod and M-LOK. Still two-piece, free float rails systems, the new Omega Rails are the perfect addition to any existing M4, not just those from Daniel Defense. MSRP is in the $260 range.

Pick up the March issue of Guns & Ammo Magazine, now on newsstands, to read Tom Beckstrand’s review of Daniel Defense’s new Delta5 precision bolt-action rifle and visit danieldefense.com to learn more.

Shooting 600 Yards with .300 Blackout

The .300 Blackout cartridge was developed to provide greater effectiveness than a 9mm at short and medium ranges when fired from a short-barreled suppressed firearm. Just because the cartridge wasn't designed to go long doesn't mean Rifles & Optics Editor Tom Beckstrand won't take it there, using a large-format pistol, no less. Armed with SIG Sauer's 9-inch-barreled MCX Virtus Pistol loaded with Black Hills' 125-grain TMK ammunition, Beckstrand attempts to ring steel at 600 yards with help from Hornady's 4DOF ballistic calculator in this segment of “Long Range Tech.”
