Delta Stryker?

[laker415]

Just looking for some feedback from people who have this scope. I'm considering this or the Athlon Cronus. I'm familiar with the specs and differences between the 2, I'm just looking for some hands on feedback from those who have the Stryker. Would you buy again? Any complaints? Thanks

Nah I wouldn't buy again. I had the 15-55 model and anything above 30x was horribly dark. Adjusting for parallax while keeping focus was a challenge and sharpness was dismal above 30x as well. Maybe I was scammed and bought Chinese knockoff.

Edit. Model was 5-50x56.

 

[laker415]

Interesting. I'm interested in the 4.5-30x56. I've read that the glass is great for the price point. I probably wouldn't expect too much at the price point its at with 50x magnification.

I have the Delta Javelin 4.5 - 30 x 56
really nice , great reticle..

The Stryker 4.5-30 gen 1 I had was great. Very clear glass, excellent turrets, great ffp reticle

Yes I have 2 javelins but wanted to give a LOW scope a try

Delta Strykers do not come in 15-55X models. Can you send a picture( I doubt it!)

Sorry Peter. That was a typo. 5-50. I still stand by my review though. It was so disappointing I'm sure I was sold a knockoff. Not by you though!

We have never heard of a knock off and would like to see a picture.

The scope is long gone Peter. I'll check my archives to see if I have a photo.

I have only just started using mine and have not put it through its paces but very clear glass. I am impressed so far.

They only come in 1-6 SFP, 4.5-30 FFP & 5-50 SFP.
And I have never heard of anyone not happy with their glass.

Ahhh! I corrected my original post. Thanks as it seems I need to pay more attention to my typing.

Yeah I was really surprised. I lent my scope to another competitive shooter and his review mirrored mine. It was shockingly bad and is in contrast to everything I had read about the scopes.

There are no knock-off Deltas and you do not have any pictures. Where did you buy it?

 

[hend238]

I bought it used from this site maybe 5 years ago and sold it a few years back for 50% of it's value. Sorry but I don't have any photos. I wish I did. I understand why you as a dealer are prodding me for proof but you're getting a little too defensive for my taste so I'm out. I have no skin in this game and nothing to prove.

LOL so why start the thread? And 5 years later?

I didn't start the thread. I replied to a guy looking for feedback on the Delta Stryker and felt my experiences were worth mentioning. Wow tough crowd. Good luck with yours. I'm happy you're impressed so far.

I sent an inquiry on your site Peter regarding your used one....

 

[peterdobson]

laker415 - Steven will respond. Delta has been imported since Nov 2018 and many top FClass and other disciplines use these successfully.

Regards,

Peter

I've dealt with Peter on a return,he was upfront,honest and fast.i think anny dealer of an optic brand would be defensive about the word knockoffs in their market.
