Daniel Defense Unveils Night Moves Delta 5 Pro with Steiner Optics

Daniel Defense has just revealed their limited edition release for August 2024: the Night Moves Delta 5 Pro bolt-action rifle. This premium rifle, designed for both precision and tactical shooting, features a 16-inch barrel chambered in .308 and is built on the highly regarded Delta 5 Pro chassis. The chassis is coated in a striking Desert Night Camo Cerakote finish. To ensure optimal performance in both day and night scenarios, Daniel Defense has equipped the rifle with a Steiner T6Xi 2.5-15×50 scope, complemented by the newly released Steiner Nighthunter C35 Gen II clip-on thermal optic. This combination makes the Night Moves Delta 5 Pro a formidable tool for any lighting condition.

Below is the production description and features of the Night Moves Delta 5 Pro from Daniel Defense.

Product Description 

The Limited Series DELTA 5® PRO Night Moves is a turnkey rifle package for precision shooting right out of the box—even after the sun has set or in low-light conditions. It’s our most extensive, most feature-packed Limited Series build to date, featuring all the included accessories you’ll need to own the night.

The Night Moves features a powerful Steiner T6Xi 2.5-15×50 scope accompanied by a newly released Steiner Nighthunter C35 Gen II clip-on thermal optic that instantly transforms any traditional optic into a thermal riflescope capable of scanning the field for heat signatures. Steiner innovation allows you to seamlessly transition between thermal and optical modes with no compromise in performance. This versatile thermal optic was just introduced at the 2024 SHOT Show, and Daniel Defense scored the first batch right off of Steiner’s production line to include with every Night Moves rifle.

This highly collectible precision rifle features an interchangeable, cold hammer forged 16-inch barrel chambered in .308 on our DELTA 5 PRO chassis coated in a Desert Night Camo Cerakote finish. A product of innovation and custom enhancements that elevate it to professional level right out of the box, the Night Moves’ accuracy is backed by science and Daniel Defense’s .5 SUB-MOA Guarantee (see below).

The value-packed Limited Series Night Moves package includes all the accouterments you’ll need to put shots on target in any lighting conditions. We’re talking an Area 419 muzzle brake for recoil reduction, a full-length Picatinny upper rail and forend with popular M-LOK attachment for accessories, and a Two Vets No Name Tripod with 55mm dual-tension ballhead and Area 419 clamp for a stable shooting platform. Because it’s a Limited Series build, Night Moves also comes with an upgraded Royal case, a commemorative challenge coin, and a certificate of authenticity to prove you’re the proud owner of a world-class, night or day tack-driver that only a few dozen people on the planet possess.     

ACCURACY. GUARANTEED.

GUARANTEED TO SHOOT 0.5 MOA OR BETTER. Talk is cheap—including talk about how accurate a rifle shoots—so we’re putting some real firepower behind our words. All Daniel Defense DELTA 5 PRO rifles are guaranteed to shoot 0.5 MOA or less at 100 yards when used with quality factory match-grade ammunition. Not “should”; not “might.” Guaranteed to. How can we make such a claim? Because we’ve done the work and the testing to back it up. It’s not just talk; it’s not bravado. It’s science backed up by data. Data that says, “If we can do it, so can you.” Guaranteed.
