I hav no particular issues with a Stryker, mine is a Gen2, the Gen 3 has been out for a couple of yrs now, apparently with improved parallax, which was some folks beef with the Stryker.
Maybe the Cronus has a better reticle selection, I have the DLR1 reticle, serves my purposes though. Cronus wasn't to be had in Cdn stores at the time I got the Delta, so, that is what I went with. No regrets, it is a good scope.
Since then, I bought a Tract 4-20x50 UHD w/PRS reticle, presently on my CZ457, and I can say I'd buy their 4.5-30 in a heartbeat. The Delta has a rev indicator on the turrets, I like that, but, Tract has better turrets period, no beefs with the Delta, but, Tract is better, glass is as good or maybe better, depends what you like in colour, Jap glass is bright, German is a bit more subdued, definition is great. Tract cust serv is excellent, manned probably 16-18hrs a day, by the owners.
Tract is a definite choice you shud add, and they are the same price as the other two. Might take a bit longer to get though, depending on availability at Tract. They have a Cdn website now, didn't exist when I bought mine, I imported it sight unseen, was not disappointed at all when it got it.

both are excellent... compare warranties if that matters.

If you want a BR scope, then add the Sightron SIII fixed power ED glass options to your list to consider. These have some very nice features catering to the BR crowd.

As you know, I am a dealer for these 3 brands and would offer any of them without concern.

Is either scope available in FFP only? In rimfire BR shooting SFP is desirable as the distances are fixed. SFP keeps the reticle crosshairs as small as possible.
