Gun Test: Daniel Defense Delta 5

If the marketplace is any indicator , American shooters are in the mood for precision bolt-action rifles with lots of included features .
Threaded barrels , detachable magazines , modular stocks and oversize bolt handles have become the norm rather than the exception .
The popularity of such rifles has soared , and nearly every manufacturer offers some variant of a “ tactical ” bolt gun .
Among the recent arrivals to the party is Daniel Defense , a company well-known for producing quality semi-automatic rifles .
Daniel Defense ’ s Delta 5 rifle encompasses many , if not all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ buyers are seeking .
At the heart of the Delta 5 is a tubular , 17-4 PH stainless steel action with an integral recoil lug .
Like many newer rifles on the market , the Delta 5 uses a three-lug bolt as opposed to the traditional two-lug arrangement .
One can argue the merits of both systems , but there ’ s no arguing that many three-lug actions produce excellent accuracy , and they also result in a shorter bolt throw of 60 degrees .
The popular Remington 700 action has become the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conform , and the Delta 5 ’ s beefy action departs from that timeless design in many meaningful ways that are designed to address some of its shortcomings .
For starters , the bolt itself is effectively double-sleeved , meaning that it reaches its full diameter at the forward and rear contact points with the action and locks up securely—a tighter fit means less disturbance when the firing pin engages the primer .
The Delta 5 also uses a Savage-style floating bolt head , which aligns itself with the cartridge and the chamber @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pivoting design , often called a “ Sako-style , ” the ejector is of the spring-loaded-plunger type and the bolt release is receiver-mounted .
Daniel Defense is one of few firms producing its own cold-hammer-forged barrels , and the stainless steel barrels found on the Delta 5 are made in house .
One of the most critical factors in rifle accuracy is whether the chamber is properly aligned with the bore , which starts the bullet on a straight path into the rifling .
Since the cold-hammer-forging process forms both the bore and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ same time , there are usually no alignment issues .
The barrel on the Delta 5 is user-interchangeable via a threaded barrel nut .
Our test rifle included barrels chambered in both 6.5 mm Creedmoor and .308 Win .
Removing and replacing the barrel requires a vise , the included proprietary barrel wrench and a torque wrench .

The barrel on the Creedmoor-chambered Delta 5 is 24″ , and , like the receiver , it is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ surface pattern that is a byproduct of the hammer-forging process .
The Heavy Palma contour is a happy medium between sporter-weight and target-weight rifle barrels .
To accommodate suppressors or other muzzle devices , the barrel is threaded 5/8×24 TPI ; we mounted a SilencerCo Omega 300 to our test rifle without issue .
When a device is not in use , the threads are covered by a steel thread protector that matches the barrel contour .

The popularity of such rifles has soared, and nearly every manufacturer offers some variant of a “tactical” bolt gun. Among the recent arrivals to the party is Daniel Defense, a company well-known for producing quality semi-automatic rifles. Daniel Defense’s Delta 5 rifle encompasses many, if not all, of the features that these rifle buyers are seeking.
A well-shaped bolt knob, along with a three-lug bolt head, pivoting extractor and plunger ejector, make the Delta 5 a sure-handling bolt-action. –
At the heart of the Delta 5 is a tubular, 17-4 PH stainless steel action with an integral recoil lug. Like many newer rifles on the market, the Delta 5 uses a three-lug bolt as opposed to the traditional two-lug arrangement. One can argue the merits of both systems, but there’s no arguing that many three-lug actions produce excellent accuracy, and they also result in a shorter bolt throw of 60 degrees.
The popular Remington 700 action has become the de facto pattern to which most others conform, and the Delta 5’s beefy action departs from that timeless design in many meaningful ways that are designed to address some of its shortcomings. For starters, the bolt itself is effectively double-sleeved, meaning that it reaches its full diameter at the forward and rear contact points with the action and locks up securely—a tighter fit means less disturbance when the firing pin engages the primer. The Delta 5 also uses a Savage-style floating bolt head, which aligns itself with the cartridge and the chamber.

Daniel Defense is one of few firms producing its own cold-hammer-forged barrels, and the stainless steel barrels found on the Delta 5 are made in house. One of the most critical factors in rifle accuracy is whether the chamber is properly aligned with the bore, which starts the bullet on a straight path into the rifling. Since the cold-hammer-forging process forms both the bore and the chamber around a mandrel at the same time, there are usually no alignment issues.

The 6.5 mm Creedmoor Delta 5’s 24″ barrel is hammer-forged in house, and its muzzle features a recessed crown and 5/8×24 TPI threads to accommodate a variety of devices. A knurled thread protector is included. –
The barrel on the Creedmoor-chambered Delta 5 is 24″, and, like the receiver, it is Cerakoted Cobalt Black and features a spiral surface pattern that is a byproduct of the hammer-forging process. The Heavy Palma contour is a happy medium between sporter-weight and target-weight rifle barrels. To accommodate suppressors or other muzzle devices, the barrel is threaded 5/8×24 TPI; we mounted a SilencerCo Omega 300 to our test rifle without issue. When a device is not in use, the threads are covered by a steel thread protector that matches the barrel contour.
The stock is a user-configurable design with several adjustment points. Length of pull is regulated by a series of removable spacers that are sandwiched between the stock and the recoil pad via two Torx bolts, and comb height can be quickly adjusted with the twist of a knob. Since scope dimensions vary so wildly these days, the adjustable comb is a key feature for precision shooting. The black synthetic stock also includes 12 integral M-Lok slots for mounting accessories (two on each side of the fore-end and seven at its bottom, one on the toe of the stock) as well as three female QD sling attachment points. A nearly vertical grip is ideally suited for prone, bipod or benchrest use.
The bedding system employed by the Delta 5 is an innovative design that melds elements of both a traditional stock and a more modern chassis. The action actually sits in a milled aluminum insert on top of the stock material, held together by twin Torx-style action screws. The aluminum bottom metal uses integral pillars that form the junction with the aluminum insert, and the recoil lug interfaces with the insert as well. The barrel is free-floated by the stock’s fore-end, but the somewhat-malleable synthetic material isn’t sufficiently rigid to prevent the barrel from making contact with the stock under all circumstances. That said, we saw no indication of this occurring during our range testing.
The rifle is fed via an AICS-pattern detachable box magazine, and one five-round Magpul PMAG is included. The trigger is a Timney Elite Hunter that is adjustable from 1 lb., 8 ozs., to 4 lbs.; our trigger broke cleanly at 3 lbs., 8 ozs., from the factory. A two-position safety rides along the right side of the tang, and the action can be cycled with the safety engaged. An ambidextrous magazine release consists of a pair of paddles that straddle the aluminum trigger guard; actuating the release should not require moving the strong hand from the grip for most shooters. An oversize bolt handle makes cycling the action from any shooting position a simple task.
The Delta 5 is not equipped with iron sights, but a Picatinny rail comes mounted on the rifle using four No. 10-32 cap screws. The rail itself provides 20 m.o.a. (5.9 mils) of elevation to help prevent scopes from running out of vertical adjustment at long range. We mounted a Leupold Mark 5 HD 5-25X 56 mm scope for our accuracy testing. We performed our traditional 100-yd. testing with the 6.5 mm Creedmoor barrel, and function-tested the rifle with the 20″ .308 Win. barrel in place.

Thank you sincerely for your message, Minister Paschal Donohoe.
Here is my reply. pic.twitter.com/0NcnVgrKaA — Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) March 25, 2020
This is an awesome move from McGregor — who has called for the country to go on lockdown — and for the hospital workers in Ireland and the country as a whole. He’s a hero in Ireland and people will be looking to him for hope.
Now, he’s cutting a massive check to make sure hospital workers have the necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) to continue to wage this war against coronavirus.

One of the bright spots of this pandemic is that people have really come together to aid in the fight anyway they can.
It’s unified people across the world and it’s not hard to see why. The virus doesn’t give a damn what your political views, nationality, ethnicity or net worth is. It will come for anybody.

If we don’t come together in this fight, then we’re in serious trouble. Props to McGregor for leading the way in Ireland.

• The Daily Mail this week published stories that pushed the communist party ’ s line that the new cases of coronavirus that have appeared in China came from travelers from overseas .
• A Daily Caller News Foundation investigation found that the Daily Mail struck a content-sharing partnership in 2015 with People ’ s Daily , the Chinese communist party ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mail ’ s owner has bragged about attending a “ high-level gathering of senior Chinese business leaders and officials.
” The Daily Mail , the popular British tabloid widely read in the United States , has published dozens of articles in recent months about coronavirus that were based on stories originating from People ’ s Daily , the communist party ’ s official newspaper , and other Chinese propaganda mills .

The report posits that China had completely contained coronavirus within its borders and that a Turkish citizen infected with the virus reintroduced it into the country .
The Chinese government has been accused of covering up its handling of the coronavirus pandemic , which began to spread out of the Wuhan province in November 2019.Health experts have accused Beijing of fudging data on the number of cases and deaths in Wuhan and greater China .
Chinese officials and state-controlled outlets have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for coronavirus on other nations , including the U.S. and Italy , two of the countries hardest hit by the disease .
“ The problem is , how do we know if we can trust their numbers or not ?
All we know is that they ’ d lied about their numbers before , ” a national security and foreign policy expert at Heritage Foundation , James Jay Carafano , told the DCNF .
The Daily Mail has published multiple other stories spouting the Chinese government line that other nations are sending new @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Monday , it ran a story headlined “ U.K .

” The article , also written by You , cited China News ’ s claim that travelers from the U.K. “ imported ” more than one-third of 107 new coronavirus cases reported in Beijing .
On Tuesday , the site published a story citing a report from the Global Times , a tabloid affiliated with People ’ s Daily , claiming that a second wave of the pandemic in China “ is ‘ INEVITABLE @ @ @ @ @ @ @ screening for people arriving from abroad.
” The website for People ’ s Daily pushes an even harder line of propaganda .
On March 13 , People ’ s Daily published a story based on tweets from Chinese Foreign Minister Lijian Zhao alleging that the U.S. military spread coronavirus in China .
“ It might be US army who brought the epidemic to Wuhan , ” Zhao tweeted .
“ U.S .

“ The text of the publications are directly and solely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in China.

A prominent British news outlet widely read in the U.S. has recently published multiple stories about the coronavirus pandemic based on information from the Communist Party of China’s official newspaper and other propaganda outlets.
The Daily Mail this week published stories that pushed the communist party’s line that the new cases of coronavirus that have appeared in China came from travelers from overseas.
A Daily Caller News Foundation investigation found that the Daily Mail struck a content-sharing partnership in 2015 with People’s Daily, the Chinese communist party’s propaganda mill.
The Daily Mail’s owner has bragged about attending a “high-level gathering of senior Chinese business leaders and officials.”
The Daily Mail, the popular British tabloid widely read in the United States, has published dozens of articles in recent months about coronavirus that were based on stories originating from People’s Daily, the communist party’s official newspaper, and other Chinese propaganda mills.
A Daily Caller News Foundation investigation found that the Daily Mail has published thousands of articles in recent years as part of a content-sharing agreement with People’s Daily.
Whether that agreement is explicitly in place now is unclear, but the tabloid has nonetheless cited Chinese government news outlets extensively in its coverage of coronavirus. The Daily Mail did not return multiple requests for comment
On Monday, the Daily Mail published a story with the headline: “Beijing’s leading doctor warns of a NEW coronavirus outbreak in China after the country reported its first case of someone ‘catching the illness from a person returning from abroad.'”
The story, which had a massive 1.1 million shares on social media, cited comments that Li Lanjuan, a top Chinese government doctor, gave to People’s Daily and China News, another government-controlled outlet. (RELATED: Media Rhetoric On ‘Wuhan Virus’ Echoes Chinese Propaganda)
“One of China’s top coronavirus experts has warned that the nation is facing a second outbreak due to the increasing number of infections detected among new arrivals from abroad,” reads the Daily Mail piece, written by Tracy You.
Lanjuan said she was “very worried that imported cases could trigger another large-scale epidemic in our country,” the story said.

The report posits that China had completely contained coronavirus within its borders and that a Turkish citizen infected with the virus reintroduced it into the country.
The Chinese government has been accused of covering up its handling of the coronavirus pandemic, which began to spread out of the Wuhan province in November 2019.Health experts have accused Beijing of fudging data on the number of cases and deaths in Wuhan and greater China.
Chinese officials and state-controlled outlets have also waged a campaign to shift blame for coronavirus on other nations, including the U.S. and Italy, two of the countries hardest hit by the disease.
“The problem is, how do we know if we can trust their numbers or not? All we know is that they’d lied about their numbers before,” a national security and foreign policy expert at Heritage Foundation, James Jay Carafano, told the DCNF.
The Daily Mail has published multiple other stories spouting the Chinese government line that other nations are sending new coronavirus cases back to China.
On Monday, it ran a story headlined “U.K. is now worst offender for sending cases to China.” The article, also written by You, cited China News’s claim that travelers from the U.K. “imported” more than one-third of 107 new coronavirus cases reported in Beijing.
On Tuesday, the site published a story citing a report from the Global Times, a tabloid affiliated with People’s Daily, claiming that a second wave of the pandemic in China “is ‘INEVITABLE’ due to loopholes in the health screening for people arriving from abroad.”
The website for People’s Daily pushes an even harder line of propaganda.
On March 13, People’s Daily published a story based on tweets from Chinese Foreign Minister Lijian Zhao alleging that the U.S. military spread coronavirus in China.
“It might be US army who brought the epidemic to Wuhan,” Zhao tweeted.
“U.S. is the creator of human right [sic] disasters” reads a March 23 article on its website.
The U.S. Justice Department requires People’s Daily’s New York-based distributor, Hai Tian Development, to register as a foreign agent of China.
“The ‘political activities’ carried out by Registrant for the principal involved in the ‘dissemination of political propaganda,'” reads Hai Tian Development’s most recent filing.
“The People’s Daily Overseas Edition is the official newspaper of the government of the People’s Republic of China,” the filing reads. “The text of the publications are directly and solely under the discretion of the government officials in China.”
While mainstream news organizations in the U.S., U.K. and other democratic nations sometimes cite stories from organizations like Russia’s RT or Sputnik, there is a general aversion to relying heavily on their work. (RELATED: Elite American Institutions Keep Bowing To China)
The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal have all also come under criticism for publishing paid inserts from China Daily that are designed to look like legitimate news articles.
The Daily Mail has gone far beyond simply blurbing the occasional People’s Daily story.
In 2015, Jonathan Harmsworth, a British aristocrat who owns Daily Mail’s parent company, DMGT, touted a visit he made to People’s Daily to arrange a content-sharing agreement between the two organizations.
“While in China I was delighted to visit People’s Daily and discuss their collaboration to share news stories with MailOnline,” Harmsworth wrote in the company’s 2015 annual report.
He also bragged in the report about his access to senior Chinese officials.
“DMGT was one of very few global businesses invited to this high-level gathering of senior Chinese business leaders and officials, reflecting our efforts to build strong foundations and relationships in the region,” he wrote.
Daily Mail editorial director Martin Clarke told The Guardian in 2016 that the arrangement with People’s Daily was “basically a copy-swap” that did not involve any cash transactions.
“We take about 40 stories a week from The People’s Daily and they can take a similar number from us. There is no cash involved,” he told The Guardian.
“As the most populous nation on earth, and one of its most dynamic economies, China is an increasing source of stories for outward-looking global publishers like Mail Online. We believe this relationship broadens our coverage there and also helps us better understand the country’s social and political structures,” Clarke said.
A review of Daily Mail’s website shows the company published more than 3,000 articles between March 10, 2015, and March 16, 2018, that explicitly disclosed which articles were published as part of the content agreement with People’s Daily.

Many of those articles were lighthearted clickbait, such an April 20, 2015, story about a Chinese farmer’s six-legged goat, or a Jan. 11, 2018, story about a one-legged municipal road worker in Xi’an who is also deaf and mute.
The coverage has shifted to more serious topics amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Carafano, the Heritage Foundation national security and foreign policy expert, said it is “very typical” for Chinese propaganda to start as benign stories that carry no overt political spin.
“They start very innocuously with sports sports, soccer stories, and then they suddenly roll in their editorial content,” he said. “That’s very common.”
He said that most Chinese propaganda that appears in the West is “pretty restrained,” offering up content that lightly praises the government and avoids taking the U.S. government head on.
“There has been a recent change, though,” especially during the coronavirus outbreak, he said.
The communist party’s media organs have begun “spinning mendacious narratives” about coronavirus, said Carafano, “like this all started in Italy, and China’s leading the way, the virus came from the United States.”
“That’s a new phase in Chinese propaganda warfare.”
Carafano also said that the Chinese government has long maintained media partnerships with foreign outlets, especially in Africa.
“Expanding this into new markets like the Daily Mail, they’re basically expanding a tactic that they’ve been using for a couple years now,” he told the DCNF. “It is building on a trend that we’ve seen that we just don’t pay much attention to in certain places, particularly in Africa.”
The latest Daily Mail stories do not include a banner identifying the content as originating from People’s Daily. It is not clear if the copy-swap agreement is still in place.
Not all of the Daily Mail’s coronavirus coverage has put the Chinese government in a positive light, and its stories often note that People’s Daily and China News are affiliated with the Chinese government.
On March 9, the Daily Mail published a story about the death of four Chinese doctors who worked alongside Dr. Li Wenliang, an opthamologist who worked in Wuhan who spread to the world about a coronavirus outbreak there in December 2019.
Wenliang was reprimanded by the Chinese government, which accused him of peddling rumors about the virus. He died from coronavirus on Feb. 7.
