Delta Stryker 1-10X28 and 3.5-21X44 reticle and Spec. details.

[Charles Follett]

Hey everyone, I just received some new catalogues today showing the specs. and reticles.
No firm Prices or ETAs yet, but glad to see some specifics. Side focus on a 1-10 !!! Cool (I know, I know - March has it)
I'll see if I can get these images up.

I am interested in the 1-10 lpvo. Those specs are interesting. Weighs about the same as the Vortex and nf atacr, but has a side focus like the March. The real key to its success will be the final pricing.

 

[Marex]

I like the reticle though I would prefer the outer crosshair extended to the edges.

The weight is very reasonable considering the features.

Lots of potential. Look forward to production.

 

[Bender]

These look useable.

 

[Leicafan1990]

That 1-10x28 looks awesome. I might be tempted to drop $2K on that (rumored price). The side focus is a great addition as well. I’m really hoping that illuminated segmented circle dot at 1x is daylight bright. I know it probably won’t be but that would really help me to justify the hefty price.

 

[beetroot]

Other than the 69mil circle in the 1-10, I can't say I'm excited by either of those reticles.

Nice.

 

[Charles Follett]

The 1-10 does have a height based rangefinder under the ret. I just noticed.

 

[koshkin]

Other than the 69mil circle in the 1-10, I can't say I'm excited by either of those reticles.

Nice.

If my estimation of what it looks like as the magnification goes down is accurate, it should be a good reticle.

[koshkin]

I expect to have both of them here in August.

I am hoping to have them a little before that, so that by the time they get to the dealers I can offer some sort of a reasonably educated opinion.

The reticle has way too much going on in the 3.5-21x. Delta has better reticles to choose from, preferably those used in the Javelin scopes.

I havn't seen the new Stryker in person yet, so we'll see. I suspect the reticle will look pretty good through the scope. I do have a Javelin here and while it is a nice enough reticle, it is definitely not my favourite reticle design from Delta.

I would be very interested if it is offered with the SMR-2 reticle. But I am still curious to your review of it. In the mean time I am looking long and hard at Leupolds Mark 5.

 

[Hoody2shoes]

Any updates?

 

[koshkin]

Both 3.5-21x and 1-10x Strykers are en route to my house. I am traveling for the next few days. They should be there when I return home next week.

ILya

 

[Grubber]

That 1-10 Delta looks to be the bees knees. I struggle with sfp 1-6 lpvos at longer ranges and had had been eyeing a March as a result. If the Delta comes in around £1500 they could be onto another winner. Hopefully the give us a few more exciting reticle options compare to the 1-6.

 

[Charles Follett]

Can't wait for Ilya's review.

 

[koshkin]

Can't wait for Ilya's review.

I'll take some pictures and have the 1st look type overview out fairly shortly. Then it's onto a proper thorough test which takes me some time.

Price in Europe estimated about 2000€.
So US it might be around that 1500-1600$.

Introducing the Delta Stryker HD 1-10x28: An Exciting Addition to HD Series - Optics Trade Blog

Delta brought the upcoming Delta Stryker HD 1-10x28 to the IWA 2023, and we got to see it up close. Here's what we know about it so far.

Makes absolutely zero sense to me that japanese scopes sold by a polish company cost that much less in the US compared to Europe. We are really getting ripped off if this is true.

 

[Cotay]

I've had the Stryker 4.5-30x for a few years now and just received a 1-6x a few days ago. I will definitely be ordering the 1-10x next. As for the 3.5-21x, I'll be curious to see if the Delta also exhibits the reported tunneling of the Bushnell DMR II/3.

There is no tunneling. It is a nice scope.
Same for the 1-10x.
My preliminary impressions are very positive.

[Charles Follett]

Sounds good! I want the 1-10 for my HK91. It's had an identity crisis up until now.

I'm curious how close the 1-10x is to the eotech 1-10 as far as optically speaking. The addition of the parallax is obviously a huge plus depending on use case.

 

[nikonNUT]

Liking the 1-10 a lot! Probably going to have to grab one.

Hard to say. I would assume they have to be related designs (and the specs suggest that), but I do not have the EOTech here to compare.

 

[Hoody2shoes]

How bright is the illumination on the 1-10?

 

[Happiness Is A Warm Gun]

Looking forward to more details!

 

[Sako man]

I had one of their 4.5-30x56 HD optics and loved it. The turret zero was tooless and the glass and tracking were very very good out to a mile. Overall great optics for the price, very impressive. I regret selling it. I am betting that the 3.5-21 is gonna be on fire!

Most of the specs on that scope look good, not convinced by the reticle design though.

Would like to hear Ilyas thoughts before getting to excited.

 

[chevy_man]

Makes absolutely zero sense to me that japanese scopes sold by a polish company cost that much less in the US compared to Europe. We are really getting ripped off if this is true.

Typically Europe includes tax in the price while the US does not. Mainly because our tax varies by city, county, and state.

That 3-21 looks like a good candidate for a rimfire. Lots of adjustment, close parallax...

 

[koshkin]

Reticle design is interesting in that it essentially works as 0.5mrad graduated reticle until you are on higher mags and have time. At that point, you get 0.1mrad granularity if you want it. It is an interesting idea.

ILya,

Really looking forward to your video review of the Delta 1-10x!

 

[Dripcat]

There is no tunneling. It is a nice scope.
Same for the 1-10x.
My preliminary impressions are very positive.

ILya

Real curious how you find the eyebox compared to other LPVOs like the Razor 1-10 or Atacr 1-8. Eyebox is usually my main gripe with LPVOs, but the Delta hits a lot of checkboxes otherwise.

Would like to see how the 3.5-21 compares to the T6xi 3-18x56. Have you got yours hands on the t6 yet?

 

[GaTacoma]

Saw this posted the other day…

“https://www.facebook.com/reel/668929805188130?fs=e&s=TIeQ9V&mibextid=jaSYs6” copy and paste for it to work.

Hard to tell if it’s gonna be truly daylight bright though.

I do not have a T6Xi.

Still not available? Anyone knows how long it is delayed and why?

@koshkin how does this compare to the Eotech VUDU 1-10x?

I have not tested the Vudu, but I like the side focus on the Delta.

I was bouncing between the PLXc, MARCH F Shorty and the Vudu for a SCAR 17. This Delta adds an interesting option to the mix. Not sure if you have any advice/input there

 

[Hoody2shoes]

Checking for updates. Delta posted available on 10/17 on their insta.

I do not have a SCAR. All of if these are good scopes. March is probably the best general purpose option. PLxC is the most compact.

Delta is sort of a Goldilocks configuration if you need sidefocus.

I'd start by figuring out which reticle works best for you and if you need exposed turrets or not.

Have we answered the inevitable question on reticle brightness in the 1-10 yet?

Yes. I am curious about that and the final price.
