Daniel Defense DELTA 5 PRO 26 inch 6.5 CREEDMOOR VARMINT Coyote Tan

Product Description

The Daniel Defense DELTA 5 PRO 26 inch 6MM Creedmoor Varmint is a precision rifle built for serious long-range shooters. This rifle combines cutting-edge engineering with Daniel Defense’s commitment to quality. Every Daniel Defense firearm is hand assembled, quality assured, and test fired before leaving our facility.

Additionally, the 6MM Creedmoor cartridge delivers lower recoil than 6.5 Creedmoor. This means less shooter fatigue during extended PRS competitions. Furthermore, you get a flatter trajectory for more forgiving holds at distance.

The 26-inch stainless fluted barrel maximizes velocity and extends effective range significantly. Therefore, your shots stay supersonic and accurate at distances most shooters never attempt. The MDT ESS chassis delivers full adjustability for cheekpiece height and length of pull.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What ammunition does the 6MM Creedmoor use and how does it perform?

A: The 6MM Creedmoor fires 6mm (.243″) bullets at velocities around 3,100 fps from this 26-inch barrel. This delivers flatter trajectories and lower recoil than 6.5 Creedmoor. It’s extremely popular in PRS competition and long-range varmint hunting.

Q: What optics and accessories are compatible with this rifle?

A: The DELTA 5 PRO accepts standard Picatinny rail optics and mounts directly. Additionally, the AICS-pattern magazine interface works with most aftermarket precision 6MM and 6.5MM Creedmoor magazines. The MDT ESS chassis supports all standard precision rifle accessories.

Q: How does this 6MM Creedmoor model compare to the 6.5 Creedmoor variant?

A: Both use the same 26-inch barrel and MDT ESS chassis platform. However, the 6MM Creedmoor produces significantly less recoil and a flatter bullet trajectory. Choose 6MM for competition; 6.5 Creedmoor offers slightly more range and wind resistance.

Q: What comes with this rifle and what’s the warranty?

A: The rifle ships fully assembled and test fired, ready to mount your optic and shoot. Moreover, Daniel Defense backs every rifle with a comprehensive manufacturer’s warranty. Finally, Western Sport provides documentation and support for your purchase.

Q: What is the M-LOK handguard on this rifle?

A: Daniel Defense’s free-float M-LOK handguard lets you attach lights, lasers, and grips directly to the rail using the M-LOK slot system — no separate rail sections required. Additionally, the handguard floats independently of the barrel, so attachments don’t shift your zero. A continuous top rail provides a stable mounting surface for optics.
