Special features that were custom only options just a few years ago from stock adjustability and threaded muzzles to carbon fiber ramp barrels and even ar styled handguards though for most tasks almost any rifle will do when you're shooting over long distances you need a rifle designed for the.

Purpose but it's not uncommon for high-end guns in this arena to come with five thousand dollar price tags thankfully several manufacturers are now offering long-range rifles that offer plenty of features without going too far into or beyond the two thousand dollar range.

Sniper rifle and the steiner m5xi 5 to 25 by 56 sniper scope the rifle in front of me has been purposely designed as a professional sniper rifle it's been designed from the ground up to be used by professional snipers it's a multi-caliber system that can be.

Chambered in 308 300 win mag or 338 laptop magnum the way it's determined what caliber is on the rifle at any one time is by a ring system located on the bolt the magazine and on the barrel the rifle in front of me is chambered in 300 win mag and that's indicated by the two.

Rings on the bolt two circles on the magazine and two rings on the barrel for 308 it's a single ring and for three through eight laptop magnum it's three rings i'm just going to start at the back of the rifle and move forward to the muzzle and explain the features briefly first.

Of all the butt group the butt is infinitely adjustable to suit the user's requirements first of all length of pull is adjusted by pushing a lever and then pushing forward to the desired length cheek piece once again by pushing the button.

It raises up on a spring and then can be aligned so that the shooter's eye is is perfectly aligned with the scope the butt plate can also be raised or lowered to suit the shooting position what this provides for is shooting either from a prone position kneeling position or standing position over.

Barrier the shooter always has optimized the the shooting position of the rifle to his shoulder and eye you can also see a monopod on the rifle it can be pulled down and set so that the butt is raised or it can then be fine adjusted or packed.

Away this version of the m10 is a folding stock version by pushing the button to the rear of the bolt the stock rotates around to the right the pistol grip comes in three different sizes on the back strap a small medium and large and is easily exchanged by loosening a.

Screw at the base of the pistol grip and removing the back strap the trigger on the trg is fully adjustable between 1.2 and 2.2 kilograms if required it's also easily removed using the sarco t-handle torx wrench the magazine is the same external dimensions for all three calibers.

With just a block in the back with the 300 win mag and the 308 the 308 accepts 10 shells the 300 win mag accepts seven and the three throughout lapierre accepts eight the four end on the rifle comes in two different lengths this is a long four end a short four end is also available.

There is a fixed rail on the bottom and the rifle is supplied with small picatinny blocks that can be arranged by the user in the position they want moving to the barrel the muzzle on all the barrels is threaded with an m18 by one thread and can either be fitted with a psycho.

Muzzle break or a break to the user's preference depending on the caliber that you're using there are multiple barrel length options so for example three throughout windmag comes with a 27 inch barrel a 23 inch barrel and a 20 inch barrel or if you want a 308 with a short barrel.

You can go as short as 16 inches up to 26 inches the rifle itself can easily be taken down by the user by loosening these two screws removing the forend and the barrel this screw and this screw allow the butt stock to be removed and components replaced and repaired as required.

The rail on top of the rifle is 30 moa on this particular version but it's also available with a zero moa or a 45 moa depression angle rail i'm here to introduce the new delta 5 pro this rifle is really meant to give you every advantage you can get from a custom rifle builder.

But at that production price standpoint so the msrp of this rifle is going to be 2499.99 so it squeaks in underneath that 2500 limit set by the prs but this is not just going to be for the prs competitive shooter it's going to be for anybody that wants to squeeze every bit of efficiency out of their rifle as.

Possible first and foremost this rifle's coming standard with a half minute of angle guaranteed so the rifle can do it now it's just up to you so some of the custom features we've added to this gun right from the factory give you a area 419.

Hellfire three-port brake a great muzzle brake that's going to keep that recoil as well as muzzle rise down to keep you on target underneath the muzzle brake it's going to be threaded 5 8 24 on the barrel that way if you want to swap it out to a suppressor you can the barrel itself is still the cold hammer forged barrel.

Where we forged the contour the bore and the chamber at the same time resulting in an extremely concentric barrel that's extremely accurate moving more towards the rear we have our rail system this has a couple unique features starting off it has one of the first production area 419.

Integrated arca lock systems this is compatible with any really right stuff arc a dovetail accessory moving to the side you have plenty of m lock slots for other accessories as well as m lock on our front bridge whether you want to run thermals or night vision.

You've got plenty of options up here moving further to the rear we have our scallop in the top of our rail this is as you can see allows our objective lens to be really low minimizes our side over bore measurement which can result in errors at really long distance if it's not exact.

Moving more towards the rear the front of the chassis base you do have a barrier stop to protect your magazine from causing any potential misfeeds from jamming that mag to the rear speaking of the magazine it's going to come with a magpul aics 10 rounder this time keep you on the gun a little bit longer.

Same great delta 5 3 lug action and it's going to come with the chimney hunter elite trigger moving to the rear of the chassis base we have what we call a thumb stop some people refer to as a gas pedal but it basically allows your thumb to have a resting spot on the chassis whether you want to shoot at strong side.

Or weak side these are not only adjustable for forward and back but also left or right so you can run it on either side of the rifle on the the very back of the chassis base is our attachment method for our grip so it's an ar-15 compatible grip system it comes with our.

Ddm4 over molded grip very comfortable grip but we know that grips are real personable to people so you want to make sure you can change it out to something if you have a different shooting style wanted something more angled or more vertical that's your little place where you can personalize your rifle.

Moving on to the butt stock frame we've kept the adjustability in the cheek piece for water line up and down as well as drifting left right and toe in and toe out making sure that we have a nice line of contact on our cheek instead of a point the only thing we've added on this one.

Is there's a spring that lets you set the height so you do not have to manually hold the cheek riser in place when you're setting your cheek height and getting that right eye relief behind the glass coming back to our length of pull system we have two friction knobs as well as a.

Thumb wheel that will allow you to run that length of pull in or out to get that right fit on the rifle and then our length of pull system also has a height adjustment on the actual butt pad that is watermarked on the left side of the rifle so you can reset it if you have to change it.

For another shooter or you're changing it to clean the rifle as well as this butt pad also has adjustments for cant uh in or out so in addition to this great chassis we've designed for the delta 5 pro we've also provided a new contour that you can choose it's a what we're calling a varmint it's.

Going to be 910 at the muzzle so just under an inch at the shoulder it's a very heavy profile a little bit larger than our 750 at the muzzle for our h palma this barrel is a little bit more rigid as well as it soaks up a lot more heat than the the hpalma can take.

Basically lets you stay on that gun a little bit longer without any thermal drift it's an extremely accurate barrel the varmint contours are going to come in 26 inches and available in six five creedmoor as well as six creedmoor so whether you're just now starting to think about getting into long range shooting.

Which is the dual stage trigger this is a trigger that's found on the m10 and the trg in slightly different variations but what you have here is a trigger that is easy travel up until a certain point and basically it's set the next time you squeeze a little bit more pressure just like that.

Once you go to this system you will never go back it is superbly accurate and really a really nice triggered feeling you've also got a two-stage or double stack magazine so you can fit 10 rounds in the same space that you'd normally fit a five round magazine in and it's the same magazine as you find.
