Daniel Defense Employee Wins PRS Production Class Competition

BLACK CREEK, GA. – Daniel Defense, manufacturer of the world’s finest firearms and accessories, is proud to congratulate Daniel McLeroy, DD Product Design Manager, on his first place finish in the Production Division at last weekend’s Cool Acres Sporting Camp PRS event held in Swainsboro, GA. In the Production Division, per Precision Rifle Series regulations, competitors cannot use a rifle with an MSRP that exceeds $2,500. McLeroy not only won the Production class, but finished 5th overall using the recently introduced DELTA 5 PRO, a product he also happened to design for Daniel Defense.

“After having worked in manufacturing engineering on our AR style rifles, Marty Daniel asked several of us engineers to design a bolt action rifle. After immersing myself in the bolt gun world, we launched the original DELTA 5 in January 2019. After getting even more involved with the PRS series, it became clear that we needed to introduce a chassis gun and that’s what we did last fall with the DELTA 5 PRO. The DELTA 5 PRO is a hammer. While I’m proud of the first place production win, the fifth place overall shows that a true production gun, running factory ammunition, can be very competitive in this sport.” said McLeroy.

“We’re extremely proud of Daniel and the DELTA 5 PRO team,” said Daniel Defense President & CEO Marty Daniel. “I mean this is a guy who works as a full-time design engineer for us and this is his second Production win for the season in the regional series. He is also currently ranked fourth in production class in the Pro Series points race. I firmly believe the DELTA 5 PRO is the most accurate production gun in the world and Daniel’s win this past weekend continues to support that.”

The DELTA PRO evolves from the original DELTA 5 bolt-action rifle and features the same stainless steel action with three-bolt lug, as well as stainless barrels cold hammer forged to profile. New features with the PRO are a one-of-a kind thumb rest that’s configurable to each shooter, whether right or left-handed, a toolless configurable buttstock, Area 419’s HELLFIRE Muzzle Brake and a list of other custom enhancements.

The DELTA 5 PRO is available in .308 (20” Heavy Palma barrel), 6.5 Creedmoor (24” Heavy Palma barrel or 26” Varmint barrel) and 6MM Creedmoor (26” Varmint barrel). All versions come with a .5 SUB-MOA Accuracy Guarantee and DD’s 100% satisfaction guarantee. MSRP for the DELTA 5 PRO is $2,499.
