TacOps Delta51 Downunder

Hi Guys, I am posting this on behalf of the new owner of this rifle. This is his review:

First off id like to send a BIG BIG thank you to Danny from delta tactical for helping me a quire this amazing rifle, Thanks Danny for everything mate, id like to say Danny was nicest most honest , professional person i have delt with in a long time, he went above and beyond the call of duty in this transaction, we spent many emails and phone conversations, he always took the time to answer any questions i had and made me feel assured that everything was going well, especially when dealing with such a high value transaction, and to top it off Danny personally drove the rifle up from victoria to deliver it to me at my dealer in sydney, hows that for customer service, once again thanks heaps mate much appreciated. Ifs there is anything i can do for you you know where to contact me.

The rifle is a Tac Ops delta51 chambered in 308w, these rifles come from Tactical Operations Beverly Hills California, built by Mike Rescigno and his team.
The core of the Tac Ops rifles is the Remington 700 action. Every aspect of the action is trued or "blueprinted" to precise Tac Ops standards, which is considerably more than the typical squaring of all the surfaces. From the recoil lug and action face, threads, bolt face, locking lugs, even the bolt body, everything is lined up precisely, and then faced for squareness, parallelism and concentricity. At all times they try to hold their tolerances to .0001”.

Tac Ops delta51 barrel come from Krieger this one is chrome moly but they are made to a specific proprietary spec provided by Tac Ops the chamber is cut at Tac ops for federal Gold Medal Match and headspaced to .001" . They also use their own precision ground recoil lugs and their own crown design with thread protector. The complete action and Barrel are cryogenically treated to relieve stress.
The barreled action is bedded into the stock using a traditional aluminum pillar glass bedding procedure with a free floated barrel channel.

The stock on the Delta 51 is the McMillan A3 stock which has adjustable cheek weld, length of pull and cant, The bottom metal is Tac ops own design and stock is fitted with anchutz rail with sling studs and atlas bipod mount. Again, paying extreme attention to fit and finish, Tac Ops takes the standard McMillan stock and refinishes it with their own application of a rough texture for all weather gripping and then a durable epoxy paint.

The trigger is the old style factory Remington set at 2.5 lbs. Its very crisp and breaks cleanly and without any creep.

The rifle is incredibley well-balanced. All metal work is finished in Birdsong BlackT and Green T, its a special finish that was developed by Walter Birdsong and is a finish that all other rifle finishes are judged by, here is a good review of the rifle finish: http://www.snipercen...om/birdsong.htm

Someone once called Mike Rescigno of Tactical Operations, Inc. the “Hattori Hanzo of rifle builders”. With this extreme attention to detail, I would have to agree!

If you want an extremely accurate rifle with a very high level of attention to the details, then any Tac Ops should be considered. Words alone cannot adequately describe the quality of these rifles. They must be handled and shot to truly appreciate their capabilities.

The tac Ops rifles are used by over 600 agencies world wide, including the alphabet agencies of the USA, and many law enforcement snipers, these are pure sniper rifles capable of delivering surgical precision in the hands of a skilled shooter. All the tac ops rifles are guaranteed to shoot better than 1/4 MOA @ 100m with Federal Gold medal match ammunition.

This rifle came with a test target of 0.099 but sorry Mike i beat it mate, best groups so far are as low as 0.022 shot twice in a row, at 100m with FGMM 168gr.

If anybody would like to purchase one of these masterpieces i recommend you contact Danny @ delta Tactical, they are the sole Australian distributor of Tac Ops rifles in Australia, Danny has all the import permits in order to bring these into the country, Danny also has first hand experience and has traveled to meet Mike and his team in the USA to see how these babies are made. Once again Big thank you Danny.

Re: TacOps Delta51 Downunder

Didn't i see this for sale on "that other shooting forum" a while ago?
 
Re: TacOps Delta51 Downunder

Never been for sale on a US forum.

Only reason i sold it was because the new owner now wanted one so bad that he convinced me to give him mine so i did and i ordered myself another one.

Re: TacOps Delta51 Downunder

1st post here,

Thanks Danny for posting it up for me,

Mike R awesome rifle mate you build a Outstanding weapon system, just like to thank you and Danny for your time and effort.

Mike rifle shoots amazingly good, under 1/4 moa all day long at 100m hot or cold barrel it doesnt phase it, last Saturday put 20 rounds inside 7" at 700m with FGMM175 very happy with it.

thanks Mike that would be a DREAM job mate:)

to the US guys sorry if i covered common points in the review about tac ops, but i wrote this review for a Aussie forum and down here tac ops rifle are relatively unknown by the masses, only a small handful of people in the tactical/sniper community know of these rifles, so the review was primally intended for the shooting public down here, as the rifle turns many heads at the range and gets lots of questions about its origins.

poop mate the rifles are very very accurate there is no question about it.

but i found whilst the rifle is capable of staying under 1/4 moa it takes great skill to shoot them like this, one little mistake in any of your fundamentals and your groups open up to sub .5moa( which is still great shooting), So its not the rifle its the shooter behind the trigger that determines the outcome, the rifle will punch one hole groups if you do your part.

I also find there is no cold bore deviation, As iam more of the school of thought thats its cold shooter than cold bore, the rifle will put its first cold bore round exactly where you aim it to go, A testament to the machining tolerances held by tac ops.

Sorry to lowlight, frank ive just read the rules of posting 5 shot groups, i'll get some up when i can, those groups were shot when i first got the rifle and i was trying to equal Mikes test target certification of 0.099,
those groups were shot of a bench with front rest and rear bag on:
2/2/12
time was 11.55am
temp was 22c
Altitude 94m
baro was 1003 hpa
wind was nil
bright and sunny
humidity 64%

Re: TacOps Delta51 Downunder

Holly Shit Bro! Nice job, those are some tight ass groups. I ordered a Delta 51 back in August of 2011. I am getting so jacked up with excitement
laugh.gif
. I am fairly certain if Chuck Norris owns a long gun, he owns one of these! Hats off to Mike for making such a great product and backing it. Have fun with you new stick man.
 
Re: TacOps Delta51 Downunder

agreed. more often than not the capabilities of the rifle are beyond the capabilities of the shooter. Every now and then you see both matched up and you get results like the ones you posted.

Enjoy the rig. Now i'll have to go ahead and add another item to my list of "essentials"....
 
Re: TacOps Delta51 Downunder

guys thanks for the compliments much appreciated.

brinkhdlow hope you dont have to wait too long for your delta mate.

Re: TacOps Delta51 Downunder

This ones for you Mike,

racking the Bolt on the Delta51



tac ops won me the match today,

today shot a 200meter precision rifle match,
format is as follows:
Bi-pod or rest prone: 6 rounds in 6 minutes.
Prone unsupported with sling : 5 rounds in 5 minutes.
Prone unsupported with sling: 4 round rapid in 30 seconds from a standing 'bolt-open' start.
Sitting: 5 rounds in 5 minutes.
Sitting: 4 round rapid in 30 seconds from a standing 'bolt-open' start.
Sitting: 6 round cumulative snap being 1-2-3 rounds in 5-9-13 seconds.
Kneeling: 5 rounds in 5 minutes.

got to say its a damm heavy beast when your not shooting prone.

regards Ed

Yes going to order a tango the delta is not really suited to the type of shooting I do. Need something lighter for positional work.
