I watched multiple videos on this and your video helped secure my decision. Ordered the ODG 24in 6.5 creed. Just gotta wait for it to come from Texas 👍🏼👍🏼
There are pros and cons to both Jackson. It really depends on the specific needs of the shooter. I am really getting to the point where all of my platforms have some kind of pre-fit barrel system. Even if the manufacturer doesn't make a certain caliber, I have the ability to have a barrel spun up as long as it is compatible with available bolt faces.
Outstanding video Ray: I saw via email notification from DD that the Black Delta 5 Pro came back into stock at DD about 2 weeks ago. I was going to wait for the Dark Green to come into stock but seeing that Black up close in HD Vid seals it. Beautiful Rifle. Also really appreciate you going into extra detail about the play in the bolt action. Other reviewers had mentioned it as a possible negative, but they did not really go into detail. You did and it makes your review stand out from the rest. Happy Thanksgiving!
I've shot the Delta 5 in 6.5 Creedmoor and shot a couple different Delta 5 Pro's in 308 and 6.5 Creedmoor. They're pretty sweet shooters and would love to own one. I have a TC Performance Center LRR in 6.5 Creedmoor that I would put in the same class as the older Delta 5 but the Pro is a freakin hammer or at least the couple I've personally shot were. Great video as always keepem coming brother and Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Glad to see this rifle performing well. I attended the press event for the first gen of this rifle a few years ago, and while it was nice, it did have issues with the bolt. Thanks for the vid brother.
Thank you sir--always love your content and your videos helped me with getting into my 1st PRS season this past summer. Hope the holidays are great for you and family! Cheers sir
I owned the original Delta 5 ...it was really accurate, but it did not have the chassis. And it was a .75 shooter, not what you have there. I traded it. I may buy one of these, now that you have put my concerns about the bolt "slop" to rest. Very well done video evaluation, Ray.
I've heard the delta 5 pros are sick in 6 creed. Glad to see it verified. Can't wait to get my hands on one. I agree, definitely needs a folding stock option.
Thanks Walmer! I am genuinely impressed with the accuracy. I would think that a folder would be coming down the pipeline. It is too obvious that is what they are thinking.
Continuing with a great service to the gun community - putting a new firearm through its paces and proving to us all it is worthy of becoming a part of the family. I can think of no better imprimatur than having Ray say a firearm is so good he wants one. "Honey, where's my checkbook, there's something I need to buy?"
Nice signalsoldier31. I had a chance to shoot the original and always wanted to get one. When this model hit the market that kind of sealed the deal for me.
I’m torn. I want to get a 6.5 creed and I want either the tikka t3X Tac A1 or this delta pro I really like both. They know both of these guns are target rifles so it would be nice if they would put heavy barrels on them from the jump
I love mine (standard version) in 308 and just picked up a 6.5 barrel - funny part was that, the Hornady Match in 308 @ 178 grain was not liked by mine only getting to 1 MOA - totally frustrating. That said, Federal Gold Match @ 175 got me down to .4 MOA. great system
I’m about to buy my first precision bolt gun and I was wanting to get this. 2 years later, do you still think this is a good way to go for someone’s first? Or is there a better route for $2500-$3000? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Love the videos.
Hey Millbean and thanks for watching the channel. I do think it is still one of the best production offerings out there. Add to the fact that you could do barrel changes yourself at your house and it has all the accessories needed it’s tough to beat. There are others but you usually have to look at Arca rails etc. I haven’t seen one yet that didn’t shoot incredibly well with factory match ammo. BTW, I still have this rifle and still shoot it regularly. 👍🏼
Great question Bill. We all know that the Tikka is one heck of a setup as well. I should do a direct comparison one day. Unfortunately, I don't have a Pinnacle or Seekins to compare them to.
Yeah, a production rifle shoot out would probably be a good video for guys getting into the precision game. I personally started on a Tikka about 5 years ago, but these days there are so many excellent rifles out there. In the midwest I'm seeing lots of Tikka, RPR, and GAP Pinnacles at matches.
That is one nice looking rifle... This may sound odd, but, that hand guard, how it mounts to the main frame area, that shape and lines, looks really cool. It is like it has the body lines of a 1988 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe or a 1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Super Sport. It is appealing to the eyes.. Don't get me wrong, I have allot of silly looking firearms that I still like, and I have some that look clever and do not shoot worth a darn.. But it is exceptionally clear, that Daniel Defense, has pulled it off again, with this Delta 5 PRO. It not only looks good, and looks like it is solid, you just show cased that this unit will perform. The recoil looked minimal with this cartridge, of course also, due to the front end doing its job, but, at the close out of the video, you mentioned, the addition of a "6.5"... I can only assume it will be the 6.5 Creedmoor... Due to the availability of that series of cartridge. What would be kick b*tt to witness, is this chassis system slugging out the 6.5 PRC dinky magnum cartridge, But, due to the limited supply of raw PRC building materials, like brass mainly, even though we have claims that 5 different stampers are knocking that brass out or at least have the ability to do such, still, I haven't seen the 6.5 PRC brass on the shelves is almost 2 years. and a year for the factory ammo. Come on, ADG, Petersons, Lapua, Hornady... get to stamping.. Oh, and the color of this chassis is appealing as well. Thank you for showing this. as always, Pardon the novel.
Thanks Dru. It definitely has lines that make it stand out in a crowd of rifles. These lines seem to be getting quite popular. Thinking of rifles like the Sig Cross and the Q they all have this look. I appreciate you watching and commenting on the video and I hope you have a great weekend sir.
Great video. My .308 Delta 5 in the regular stock shoots .5 MOA all day long with Federal GMM and a Vortex Viper PST Gen 2 5-25. Had issues with the trigger not cocking reliably below 2.5 pounds. Set to 2.8 and issues resolved. Probably going to call DD about that, but it is my ONLY complaint about this rifle.
Love your videos great channel. So you’ve had a chance to review this Delta 5 and Tikka T3x Tact A1….. any comments comparing the two??I am considering these two guns to start off with and competition. I am a right handed person but have a dominant left Eye, So if I were to consider those two guns above I would buy the Tikka in left hand left shoot it left handed. The Delta five I have no choice but to go right handed. Now I caught caught your comment about keeping your head steady as well as your non-trigger handIf you are wanting accurate repeatable groups. What you said has really stuck with me and makes me want to get nothing but a left handed rifle/chassi. Do you feel moving my non-trigger hand to cycle the bolt will lead to inconsistent groupings Keep up the great work!
I am on the fence between the Daniel Defense Delta 5 Pro and the Bergara Premier Competition Rifle for PRS and some long range coyote/pest control rifle. Do you have any thoughts or opinions between the two?
Happy Thanksgiving Ray! I think this a great all around competition rifle. For purely PRS matches, I think there are better "production class" rifles. It's hard to beat the MPA or GAP production guns for PRS.
You said they guarantee 0.5 MOA and it cost $2499. How do your other precision rifles compare with MOA/price? I know some can run $20K, but is the MOA that much better?
hey man big thank for your review 😎🤙 how does it work compare to ruger custom shop??? also it would be better to spend more and go for AI ??? You should make some serious comparison of these guns you have ability to do .. let me known what you think ..regards from UK LONDON DARK ILEAND🤙🤘😎😁
@@XRING Probably like You, I'm not easily impressed. My Beowulf was a build and done by my very competent gunsmith. I use Hornady bullets (350 grain XTP's with my own loads and personal recipe). On multiple occasions, I have put 5 rounds with a 1/2 MOA at 100 yards (it ain't me brother ... it's the rifle). You just have to know that at 200 yards, the bullet drop is 11.5" but still accurate. After 200 yards you might as well be using a mortar.
Great video. I’m currently setting up my Delta 5 Pro and I’m also putting a Mark 5HD (5-25x56) on it. Would you mind sharing which exact IMS mount you used and whether or not you are happy with it? Any info is greatly appreciated - as are you videos. Thank you.
Thanks the the replies gents. Loved seeing this vid. Already talked with my dealer and they have this same rifle in stock with my name on it for tomorrow! 😮
I'm guessing that MK5 is a 5x25. When you're shooting at lets say 600-700 yards at 10" steel, what do you think the sweet spot is for clarity on the magnification?
Great question Trevor and yes it is a 5-25. I like to stay around the 12-15 range on most of my scopes for this type of shooting. Remember, power is of the devil! You will greatly reduce your chances of seeing impacts or finding targets when you get above that power zone. I am not talking about shooting from a bench or prone. For single engagements in a stable position then 20x + is fine.
Just starting my journey into the sport. Came across you channel and I am hooked. Still searching for my first precision rifle. 6.5 CM is what I'm looking for but which one is my delima. My budget is in $2500 range for rifle and same for scope. Recommendations would be appreciated. And again, thanks for the info on your channel.
My pleasure Tony and thanks for watching the channel. 6.5 is a great choice for sure but it really depends on what you want to do with the platform. For general purpose long range shooting you could always go with a Tikka T3X Tac A1 for 2k It is a very versatile platform for about everything and they are extremely accurate. It’s not the end all be all but it is a great setup. I hope this helps a little and I hope you have a Merry Christmas! There are tons of options in that price point.
Glad to see you got your hands on the DD5Pro. So, I'll pose this question to you again. For the money, the MRAD or DD 5 Pro? Also , is there a way to add weight if using the 6.5 to mitigate hop and provide faster follow ups? Considering selling my 6 creed RPR and unused Krieger barrel to purchase the DD 5 Pro is why I ask. Do see see a 6 ARC in DD 5 Pro future? Hopefully you'll be able to compare it to a Bergara LRP 2.0 sometime. Thanks again.
Hey Paunchous. Great question but I think you are going to be twice the money for the MRAD. While I like both of them I would say the DD would make a better all around rifle. The MRAD is BIG and wouldn't be my first choice for lugging around. I doubt DD will offer a 6ARC because it would require a new bolt with the conversion. Thanks for commenting and have great weekend. BTW. you can add weights offered from other companies if you wanted to balance it out.
Hey X- ring. Love your channel! I’m on the fence here. I’m about to pull the trigger on a Christensen MPR. But i stumbled upon this DD5. I’m so confused now. I love the mpr with all the carbon and all that nice stuff but this DD is very intriguing. What is your absolute opinion and choice between both. Please help. Happy new year and thanks!
Hey Eddie and thanks for watching the channel. While I like and have them both they have two completely different roles. I would only use the MPR for hunting or a situation where I needed to save weight. It jumps around a LOT when shooting the MPR. The DD can do everything and has the ability to change barrels in no time at all. It really depends on what your goals are with the rifle. Thanks again and Happy New year!
Hey TK. I have not had a chance to shoot one of those. I will say from experience. Carbon barrels are for saving weight. While I have seen and own many Carbon barrels that shoot incredibly well I can say with confidence that if you took 10 steel barrels and 10 carbon wrapped barrels from the same manufacturer the steel ones would have a smaller groups size average.
For a 16 inch 308 hard use rifle, how would you decide between the 16inch variant of DD D5P vs Tikka Tx3 Tac A1? DD told me they’re coming out with a side folding adapter, so once that’s out, which direction do I go? Looking to keep package small for running Surefire RC2 762. Thank you!
@@XRING That makes sense. That Varmint profile barrel on the DD is thick too, feel like it would handle heat better. I think ill save up for the DD. Btw I watch a ton of your content, really great stuff. I’m going to be getting into reloading. Learned tons from you and Gavintoob UL. Be well!
Great video Ray. I’m new to the channel, I loving it so far. I had a question for you. If you had to pick which rifle is better? The Christensen Arms MPR or the Daniel Defense Delta 5 pro?
Thanks Brazuca20. Depends on the rifle use. For a lightweight hunting setup and occasional long range shooting I would go MPR. For competitions, long range shooting and hunting where a heavier rifle isn’t an issue I would go DD 5 all day long. I still have both rifles and rarely shoot the MPR anymore.
I’m looking at this exact rifle for precision shooting. Thank you for the review! Tell DD to give you royalties because I’m sold haha
I love your shooting style. You just shoot no wait no hesitation. True expert
I watched multiple videos on this and your video helped secure my decision. Ordered the ODG 24in 6.5 creed. Just gotta wait for it to come from Texas 👍🏼👍🏼
I’ve been on the fence about building vs buying production. This has been my deciding factor. Thank you!
There are pros and cons to both Jackson. It really depends on the specific needs of the shooter. I am really getting to the point where all of my platforms have some kind of pre-fit barrel system. Even if the manufacturer doesn't make a certain caliber, I have the ability to have a barrel spun up as long as it is compatible with available bolt faces.
What a great production rifle!! DD makes some of the finest barrels in the business!! This rifle will be a big win for DD!!

That's a pretty impressive arrow. The Indian behind it is even more impressive.
It would be awesome if you could review the b14 premier competition in the mpa chassis that also qualifies for production class.

Super impressive bro even with factory ammo .
Awesome review on the new rilfe 😀👌
Just picked up a new Tikka t3x lite roughtech the day , I burnt out my last t3x barrel under 4 years 🤦♂️🤣

Does the accuracy degrade after a 6-10 rounds? I've seen reports that when the barrel gets hot, the accuracy is severely decreased...

There are tons of options in that price point.
Ray is there barrel change system kinda like the Terminus Zeus action?
Would you go with 24" or 26" barrel for a 6.5cr?? Probably suppressed most of the time.
Is that new truck in the background?
Yes sir. I had to go with black this time. Very limited quantities right now.
Great Video sir! Question for you…what bore guide are you using to clean this rifle? Is it a standard Remington bolt bore guide size?
what bipod was installed?
How much does this rig weigh?
Another amazing review 👏 👌
I want one in 6mm arc !

Hey TK. I have not had a chance to shoot one of those. I will say from experience. Carbon barrels are for saving weight. While I have seen and own many Carbon barrels that shoot incredibly well I can say with confidence that if you took 10 steel barrels and 10 carbon wrapped barrels from the same manufacturer the steel ones would have a smaller groups size average.
I've liked the DDDP5 FOR A WHILE
Same here Trey. Just needed to see what they were capable of doing. I am impressed.
For a 16 inch 308 hard use rifle, how would you decide between the 16inch variant of DD D5P vs Tikka Tx3 Tac A1? DD told me they’re coming out with a side folding adapter, so once that’s out, which direction do I go? Looking to keep package small for running Surefire RC2 762. Thank you!
I really like them both. However, the barrel change really sells the DD for me. I go through a lot of barrels.
@@XRING That makes sense. That Varmint profile barrel on the DD is thick too, feel like it would handle heat better. I think ill save up for the DD. Btw I watch a ton of your content, really great stuff. I’m going to be getting into reloading. Learned tons from you and Gavintoob UL. Be well!
Update: Went with the DD, they also came out with a side folding hinge. Thanks for feedback, love your videos.
What would you recommend for a first time PRS? I was looking at this, the Ruger, Tikka, and Christensen, but I’m open.
Great review and shooting as always... how does this compare to the MPA you reviewed a while ago
I am going to save up so I can buy one of these next summer in 6.5 creedmore.
Definitely a nice setup. I am sure you will be impressed. Thanks for watching.
Hey Rick you only had to hold it up and I was in love.
I'll watch the rest of the Vid. now
Do they make this rifle in a 300 prc or 300 win mag
Nice. Well done!
Thank you Chip! Have a great weekend.
I love your content this is a sweet rifle and I'll definitely be getting one 2 questions 6mm vs 6.5 and what watch is that that?
Great video Ray. I’m new to the channel, I loving it so far. I had a question for you. If you had to pick which rifle is better? The Christensen Arms MPR or the Daniel Defense Delta 5 pro?
Thanks Brazuca20. Depends on the rifle use. For a lightweight hunting setup and occasional long range shooting I would go MPR. For competitions, long range shooting and hunting where a heavier rifle isn’t an issue I would go DD 5 all day long. I still have both rifles and rarely shoot the MPR anymore.
I need to stop trying to hit center of plate like you said. Im just wasting time trying to hit center of plate.
That’s exactly right! A hit is a hit.
Where can I get one.
Savage rifle for the money. Do the do it in 6 dasher
They do not offer it in 6 Dasher. I think they can be purchased at most of your DD dealers.
Cheers buddy. Keep up the good work.
Is it the best sub $2500 precision rifle?
It is a great one for sure. Also take a look at Masterpiece arms and American rifle company for a sub 2500.00 msrp rifle.
👍👍Enjoyed the video
Rick pull out the Tikka Tac a1 an show Ray a thing or three! :)
