Today I received my Tac Ops Delta 51.


Fed Ex man dropped this off. What could it be?

Mike forgot to send the key ahead. No problem, got drill? Just a few minutes and I'm in!

As the title states, this is a Tactical Operations Delta 51. It was spec'd with a Tango barrel contour to save a little weight. I also spec'd the Birdsong Back T on the barreled action and bottom metal. I wanted something different so we had Brandon (Short Bus) put his magic touch on the paint. He did a phenomenal job, I love the contrast with the Black T.

Range trip scheduled for Sunday and I will report back then.

Big thanks to Mike R and Brandon, great job guys!

I can't t wait to see in action this weekend. As usual Brandon does an awesome job. I feel like I have been waiting for this rifle right along with you. Looks like a good weekend coming up with my new BlackOps Recon and your TacOps.

Sunday should be a good day, I'm going to call my ffl holder and see if he can meet us so I can test out the Tac Ops can as well

That's correct, he makes his own bases. Two piece aids in loading since most of his platforms have internal magazines.
I switched to two piece bases a while ago, even on my rifles with DBM. It aids in top loading for that last round...

That is a fine looking rifle and appears to shoot as good as it looks.

I have to say that I laughed out loud when I read that you couldn't wait and drilled out the lock to get at it. After the long wait for the build, I'm sure you couldn't wait another minute.

*sigh*

This is all making me seriously itchy for my Delta 51. Feh--guess I'll just have to hurry up 'n' wait.

That is one fine-looking Delta, T2CH.

Dude-

That is such a cool rifle. The engraving really pops on the black-T barrel. Interesting you got the Tango barrel, as that is what I have on order with Mike since last month- a Delta 51 with Tango barrel. Lightweight with adjustable cheek and length. Sweet! But I am getting standard colors. I am visiting LA and hope to meet Mike at his shop when he gets back from shot show. That test target is ridiculous- .019 @ 110 yards

Very, very nice! I'm really digging the camo job.

Hope you get to shoot the can as well, I've got a Tac Ops 30, titanium that I run on both my Tango 51 and my Delta 66--great suppressors! Everyone comments on the quietness of it, even shooting the Delta in 300 win mag. Had guys comment at the range that their air rifles are louder!

Made it to the range on Friday for a little testing. I have not been to the range in 2 months due to work, weather, and hunting season. This 3 shot group are the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th shots for me. The shot by itself is the bore site confirmation. I shot that and with out touching the scope shot the 3 shot group. This is FGMM 168 at 100 yds. I was shooting off bipod with a rear bag. I need to get used to the trigger, its a bit light compared to my other rifles.

This is the best of the day, with FGMM 168.

I shot some loads for another rifle to try them out and they shot pretty good. 155 Palma with 44.5 gr. varget yielded 3/8" groups.

The rifle is a pleasure to shoot.

Congratulations on your Delta 51 and welcome to the Club, Travis. As much as I love Tac Ops' traditional look (contrasting Green-T & Black-T metal and Tac Ops OD paint on the stock), it's nice to see well-executed camo work on the stock and/or metal. Enjoy your Delta 51!
