Delta Stryker HD 4.5-30x56

[Michael]

At $1600 the Delta Stryker HD 4.5-30x56 isn't cheap. But at 1/2 the price of some "tier 1" scopes (made in the same LOW factory in Japan) it is certainly competitive.

Yep and it's a step up from the $599 ($1200 retail) BUSHNELL TAC 4.5-30x50 from SWFA also made at that LOW factory in JAPAN. The Delta Stryker is definitely an improvement and is CLEARER past 25x.

Nice scope~! One tier 1 benchrest scope often overlooked is the 15-60x52 Vortex Golden Eagle with ECR-1 reticle. Can be had for as low as $1200 in some areas...

I have the 4.5-30 Stryker and it's truly awesome.

In a recent video DLO put it as his current pick of all scopes in this mag range under $2k. Also stated flat that this price range is where you're getting the most scope for your money.

Interestingly the Nexus is his new recommendation in the slightly lower mag bracket.

Aside from the fact that he personally runs TTs. It’s the depth of field.

Who,DLO?

Of course he does - that's why they're sitting right at the top of the 'money no object' section of his list. 

I'm talking about the bracket below that and what he said regarding those scopes.

Min 25y, on the side focus, can anyone confirm that this is true? ( or not )

kind of hoping if goes lower in truth.

My parallax wheel

On full magnification looks like just under 23 yards. Must use Minimum magnification for clear picture at 10y. Won't work for die hard FT shooters. But can easily take care of pests & targets at close range.

Thank you Michael .

Just a note - those numbers are in meters, so 23m is roughly 25yds.

That said mine will focus parallax free at 20m on full mag. Like you say, it's clear at close range at lower powers and plenty good enough for pesting up close.

Luckily for them, the die hard FT guys can (and do) generally just get the SFP 5-50 model which focuses down to 10m

Just picked up my second one for a great deal one for the red wolf and one for the impact

Meopta optika6 3-18x56 on the uragan. 

No more neglecting guns because of disliking their glass

Marcos do you have some photo of Impact with Stryker 4,5-30X56?

 

[Macros]

Here is a quickly snapped pic of my compact and 700mm impacts with the strykers mounted

Not the greatest but you can see how they fit etc.

Perfect, thanks Marcos...

I really share your opinion about the Stryker 4.5-30! I've had 2 of them and still have one. This is a lot of scope for the money and getting anywhere near that quality level would have easily cost you 1000$ more, just a couple years ago when they first came out!

Now, the new Delta Javelin has just landed and I've just received mine. I haven't had time to make a full review and test it thoroughly, nor to compare it side by side with the stryker but I coudn't resist and mounted it on my redwolf for a first try out. And so far, I'm impressed! Glass quality seems really high and I got that scope for just 1000$!!!

I'll do all the testing (check the tracking with leveled rules, check for optical defaults....) but my first impressions are just awesome! I'm pretty sure it's gonna be a great scope. It's not as compact as the stryker and it doesn't resist so much recoil but who cares on a pcp!

I'll come back with more details when I have the time and opportunity to check that more in depth....
