DELTA 5® .308

Simply a superb platform throughout. Pricey, yes, but worth every penny. DD quality build throughout. 100 rounds in and the Delta 5 shoots better and better. Tolerates most every ammo brand I've tried with similar groups. Precision match and hunting ammo easily sub-MOA. The Delta 5 is a pleasure to shoot, and I look forward to the next range session. Smooth and consistent. So glad I bit the bullet and bought one.

Over the past year, I have tested a variety of 308 ammunition in this rifle. Of the 12 factory loads tested (multiple five-shot groups for each load), nine loads averaged .75 MOA groups or less. The factory load with the smallest groups averaged .55 MOA over five strings of fire. Anything 168-grain or 175-grain, SMK, or AMAX does well. The most impressive thing was that these strings of fire were shot over multiple dates in different weather conditions and temperatures. The stock works well, and I like the trigger setup. I would buy the Delta 5 again in a heartbeat.

I am about 200 rounds into my experience with the D5 in 308. Just a beautiful shooter for me. I spend time with it in the woods and terrain of the southeast, so my hunting is generally limited to not more than 400 yards, and I spend time at the range with it as well with shots out to 1000 yards so far. The gun is a little more accurate than I am I'm sure, but I have had zero problem hitting what I aim at with various quality factory loads from Hornady, Rem, Nosler and Federal. Great gun and always an attention grabber (which I do not seek).

My DD Delta V is as advertised. Out of the box it is extremely accurate. I mounted a Leupold Mark IV
Hornady .308 ammo and first shot at 150 yards hit center and shot after shot the same result. Amazing rifle...buy one, you will not be disappointed.

LOVE this rifle. I ran a nightforce optic on its first hunt during my Indiana whitetail season. One well placed shot at 123 yards and dropped a huge 8 pointer. Accurate, rugged, comfortable, weather proof, and best of all it is a Daniel Defense. I own this caliber in the DD AR10 platform.

Accuracy is out of town. I set up an afternoon to get the feel of it. Got behind the rifle and everything was right where it's supposed to be. Intuitive is the word, I believe. The ergonomics are that crazy-good. Couple of hours later I put 5 in 3/4 of an inch at 300--no kidding. Sounds like a Tall Tale but I'd put the picture up if I could. I like this rifle.

Terrific rifle.Shooting sub MOA groups. I upgraded the trigger to a single stage trigger tech diamond. Hope DD offers more barrel exchange kits in the future. DD rifles are always the highest quality. I would HIGHLY recommend this rifle.

I cant believe they dropped the price, I paid a little more. Anyways the fit and finish of this rifle is excellent. The performance is excellent. Some haters say this rifle has no purpose but to me it is an amazing general purpose rifle that can easily shoot 1/2 MOA with proof. I can hunt, sit on a bench and half a hell of a time and it just looks like a sick ass counter sniper.
Weight is not bad at all, I have a Fix by Q and this rifle doesn't feel that much heavier, plus you get the QD points from factory. Honestly this rifle has pretty much all the features you could want from the factory. I think at this price point DD should do really well. The chassis is dope. Feels good, very adjustable. Trigger feels very good. Very clean breaks but its a timney so what do you expect. I dont know what there is to not like about this guy. DD clearly doing a good job with these CHF SS barrels. Maybe not as nice as a cut barrel but I'm not a PRS magician so I probably wouldn't know the difference.

I have been researching for over 18 months. Got to go hands on with those I was considering as my 4 finalist but it was the Daniel Defense Delta 5 impressed me greatly at the NRA Convention last year in Indy. I was also most impressed with the DD team at the convention (although they didn't draw my number for the giveaway DD Delta 5) as I returned 3 times asking more questions and exploring the Delta 5. I also like the owners and their philosophy and am happy to support Daniel Defense and the staff. I enjoyed all the employee videos on the website.

This is my first long distance rifle to use at the 1000yd outdoor range in Northeast Indiana which I am a member and use my AR15, shotgun, and handguns on the handgun range. The ability to purchase different caliber barrels and change them myself in less than 5 minutes with three tools was a huge part of my decision since I am used to my multiple handguns I can disassemble with just a punch. I like the quick disconnect DD Wave suppressor but won't get that for who knows how long.

It's the little things thought through by Daniel Defense so I don't have to spend to upgrade the rifle! I set the trigger to 3lbs., easily added my scope on the built in picatinny rail, adjustable butt stock length and check riser (I use the camber!), notch for my offhand in buttstock, 60deg bolt. It was very easy to level and sight in my Nightforce ATACR 5X25 56mm F1 scope since the rifle was spot on level with my M-Lok bipod. 200yds and 500yds were really easy and accurate. I am looking forward to my first 50+ degree day without 20-30mph winds to try 600yds, 800yds, and 1000yds. The feel of the rifle tucked in my shoulder, the pull of the trigger, and the bolt cycling feels crisp and smooth like a very well made product. Now it is time to learn how to use the app (and learn the math myself), try different ammo, control breathing, etc. for the 1000yds. I have no doubt the Daniel Defense Delta 5 will make it easy for me!

I’m very happy with my Delta 5. First thing I did was to dial the Timney down to 2.25 lbs. Loaded up a basic charge ladder with a Hornady 168 grain ELD-M and printed .585 MOA right out of the gate, fire-forming new brass. I expect great things from this rifle! Love the barrel, action and ergonomics! I will be ordering the 6.5 CRDM barrel soon and I hope to see other barrel offerings in the future. Way to go, Daniel Defense!
