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!
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'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!!!
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.
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 👍🏼👍🏼
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?"
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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 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.
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!
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
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.
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🤙🤘😎😁
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?
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?
@@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.
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. 👍🏼
How does this compare to some of the other rifles you have reviewed in similar price ranges such as the Christensen arms MPR or even the Remington 700 PCR ? Awesome videos Thank you for putting out awesome content and being authentic.
Thanks Jonathan! I will say that the Christensen is good and extremely light. I don’t think it is as robust or as accurate but it has its place for saving weight. The PCR is also great for a lot less money but the fit and finish is nowhere near the DD. I think the best comparison would be against that Tikka. Nearly the same price point and accuracy as well. Tikka comes with a folder but It uses proprietary mags that will fail in a sandy environment. I need more time with the DD to be honest. I still have all of the others you mentioned.
I have a delta 5 pro, with the 308 barrel. I really like the thing, and I think its a pretty good chassis design and have had good luck with it so far. However, one of the reasons I originally bought it was because of the barrel nut system that makes it so easy to switch calibers, one of the main features they advertised. Unfortunately, I've been waiting over a year for the 6 Creedmoor varmint barrels to be available to purchase, yet they still are not. Someday, maybe...
Awesome review. Very thorough! I have the same exact setup on order with the exception of the tremor 3 reticle. With the scalloped top of the foregrip were you able to use short scope rings?
Great review. I like how you demonstrated dialing for distance and also using the reticle holds. My preference would be .308 but I am getting more curious about 6.5 Creedmor. What magnification range was the scope? Thanks for the great content. Happy Thanksgiving.
Thanks Mark. I would seriously consider the 6.5 over the .308. Ballistically, it is going to be superior for longer range shooting. However, if you don't have intentions of going deep into the long range game then there is nothing wrong with the .308 at all. With regards to power on a scope, I like 5-25's for just about everything. In a competition setting you will rarely go over 15x. If you do a lot of bench or group shooting then having the extra power like 25-30x is a benefit.
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.
Great question. While I really like the MPA chassis quite a bit. I am going to say this would be a close call. The first thing I would do is switch out the grip on the DD and go with something more vertical. Otherwise, I am really digging this chassis.
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.
I love your shooting style. You just shoot no wait no hesitation. True expert
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

What a great production rifle!! DD makes some of the finest barrels in the business!! This rifle will be a big win for DD!!
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.

Great review Ray going to put this on my Christmas list!
That's a pretty impressive arrow. The Indian behind it is even more impressive.
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.
My pleasure! We still need to get together for that chat one day.
@@XRING yes. I would like that. I should just plan to travel out east and we can do some videos together. That would be legit.
Great video X-Ring!
I’m with you Ray. The folder would be the icing on the cake ! They say later this year maybe ?
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.
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 🤦♂️🤣
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. Thanks for the video.
Thank you kubikari! I hope you had a great one as well. Thank you for watching.
Great shooting and a nice rifle thanks for the video
Great video Ray. That’s a really nice rifle
I've been looking at a 6 mm creedmoor, great looking setup
I've been eying this or new SP Havak HIT.
Super impressive bro even with factory ammo .
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

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.
Amazing shooting skill!!
Nice rifle, and good shorting.
New to the channel & just wanted to say thanks. This is fun stuff
Welcome Abe and thanks for watching!
I have the original.and even the original shoots.lights out and actually is.my favorite rifle to shoot.
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.
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.
I think I would agree with that statement for sure Joe. This rifle would need some weights and a different trigger for starters.
Happy Thanksgiving ,excellent shooting.
Thanks Michael. You as well sir!
Happy Turkey Day everyone! Thanks for sharing!
Jus got one in 6.5 creedmoor, mostly on your recommended, thanks
Dude that thing is badass!!!
Just got mine last week in green waiting on glass now, excited to shoot it.
Omg, you’re a beast! More vids with the Delta 5 pro please. Love that rifle and it’s damn sexy!
Nice review on a cool rig i didnt know about brother🍻
It would be awesome if you could review the b14 premier competition in the mpa chassis that also qualifies for production class.
Now l know why Savage is only open on Tuesday Wednesday Thursday🤣
Very Nice Rifle !
Excellent Review !🇺🇸🗽👍
LOL Jerry. I appreciate you watching and I hope you have a great weekend sir.

Now you got me lookin…great shootin brother awesome channel
Thanks Arborist and thanks for watching the channel.
Almost at 100k. Let’s go!! Yay🎉
Thanks great video
I. Just had watch ths review again.
Great review and shooting as always... how does this compare to the MPA you reviewed a while ago
Good shooting Ray. Not a bad price either. Did you go back to the 2500 HD series. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
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?

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?
What scope would you recommend for this rifle if someone wants to shoot production? I am new to the channel but I am loving it. Thanks
I want one in 6mm arc !
How much does this rig weigh?
Another amazing review 👏 👌
Hey Ray
No1 Very nice Mate . Steve
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?

I've liked the DDDP5 FOR A WHILE
Same here Trey. Just needed to see what they were capable of doing. I am impressed.
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.
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?
Nice. Well done!
Thank you Chip! Have a great weekend.
Happy Thanksgiving Bro; figured you’d be shooting somewhere?
Thank you 😊
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.

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!
Does the accuracy degrade after a 6-10 rounds? I've seen reports that when the barrel gets hot, the accuracy is severely decreased...
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
Did you go with the Tikka? I hope.
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.
👍👍Enjoyed the video
Good stuff
Hey Rick you only had to hold it up and I was in love.
I'll watch the rest of the Vid. now
Hi ray have you done a comparison anywhere on the Ruger precision rifle in 6.5 creedmoor any where I would like to see your findings on it
Ray is there barrel change system kinda like the Terminus Zeus action?
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🤙🤘😎😁
Could you provide any updates regarding the loose bolt play in these rifles? I'm seeing a lot of reviews mentioning this.
What would you recommend for a first time PRS? I was looking at this, the Ruger, Tikka, and Christensen, but I’m open.
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?
How would you compare the Delta 5 Pro to the Bergara Premier Cometition...both 6 mil Creedmoor?
Thanks,
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?
@X-RING The atlas bipod, does that have an Mlok clamp on it? I ordered that bipod but it came with picatinny clamp.
Would you go with 24" or 26" barrel for a 6.5cr?? Probably suppressed most of the time.
Can the gun be adjusted for a left handed shooter?
quest. how you know how many clicks you gonna do on different targets is there a formula for that ... can you explain pls. tnx
I would love to see You review the M4 Beowulf.
Ooof. I shot some of them before and they are quite snappy if I recall correctly.
@@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).

After 200 yards you might as well be using a mortar.
Very nice👍🏻
How do you take out the firing pin from the bolt body?
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. 👍🏼
How does this compare to some of the other rifles you have reviewed in similar price ranges such as the Christensen arms MPR or even the Remington 700 PCR ? Awesome videos Thank you for putting out awesome content and being authentic.
Thanks Jonathan! I will say that the Christensen is good and extremely light. I don’t think it is as robust or as accurate but it has its place for saving weight. The PCR is also great for a lot less money but the fit and finish is nowhere near the DD. I think the best comparison would be against that Tikka. Nearly the same price point and accuracy as well. Tikka comes with a folder but It uses proprietary mags that will fail in a sandy environment. I need more time with the DD to be honest. I still have all of the others you mentioned.
Thank you for the response. That is exactly what I needed to hear to make my decision.
I have a delta 5 pro, with the 308 barrel. I really like the thing, and I think its a pretty good chassis design and have had good luck with it so far. However, one of the reasons I originally bought it was because of the barrel nut system that makes it so easy to switch calibers, one of the main features they advertised. Unfortunately, I've been waiting over a year for the 6 Creedmoor varmint barrels to be available to purchase, yet they still are not. Someday, maybe...
Ray, That looks like such a amazing, tranquil shooting range . You have mentioned email. I do have a question 🙋♂️.
Hope all is well.
Thanks Martin. Email me at thexringchannel@gmail.com with questions. 👍🏼. Thanks for watching.
This vs the bergara hmr pro? Why choose one over the other?
Awesome review. Very thorough! I have the same exact setup on order with the exception of the tremor 3 reticle. With the scalloped top of the foregrip were you able to use short scope rings?
Rick pull out the Tikka Tac a1 an show Ray a thing or three! :)
Lol appreciate it
Do they make this rifle in a 300 prc or 300 win mag
Great review. I like how you demonstrated dialing for distance and also using the reticle holds. My preference would be .308 but I am getting more curious about 6.5 Creedmor. What magnification range was the scope? Thanks for the great content. Happy Thanksgiving.
Thanks Mark. I would seriously consider the 6.5 over the .308. Ballistically, it is going to be superior for longer range shooting. However, if you don't have intentions of going deep into the long range game then there is nothing wrong with the .308 at all. With regards to power on a scope, I like 5-25's for just about everything. In a competition setting you will rarely go over 15x. If you do a lot of bench or group shooting then having the extra power like 25-30x is a benefit.
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.
Yes, would also like to know which mount. Thanks in advance.
@@tonyroslund Tony idk about this guy but I ended up getting the Leupold Mark IMS 35mm bolt-action. Item # 176888. Hope this helps.
My apologies. I somehow missed your comment. That’s the same one I am running on this setup.
Thank you. Much appreciated. I enjoy your videos.
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! 😮
thats a sweet rifle.
Thanks Cameron. DD did a good job with this one.
Showing how wednesday rifle bring's in the bacon at the end. LOL
LOL! Not bad at all with factory ammo. Why would I even reload for this rifle unless I needed different velocities or bullet weights.
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.
@@XRING Awesome, thanks for the reply!
So do you like the DD chassis better than the MPA ? Nice optics
Great question. While I really like the MPA chassis quite a bit. I am going to say this would be a close call. The first thing I would do is switch out the grip on the DD and go with something more vertical. Otherwise, I am really digging this chassis.
Curious how the DD would stack up next to the Tikka Tac A1, GAP Pinnacle, Seekins, etc in a shoot out
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.
@@XRING throw in the MPA BA Pro 2 while your testing rifles. Do you still have 1 lying around?
Is the the 20" model or 26" model?
