Thread: Delta Optics

I have been looking at delta optics as I saw it in the advertisement banner and was just wondering if anyone has had anything to do with them and could give some insight if you have owned them and what your thoughts are, thanks

Few threads about them already mate

Im shooting a Stryker on my competition rigs. They tracj really good, and the mill hash marks on the reticle is accurate.

Using a 0moa rail, Im able to dail to way past 1000m, shooting a 6mm Creedmoor.

Its definately one of the better scopes Ive owned and used to date.

I have the Delta 4-24x50 with the extra target turrets. Mounted on a tikka 6.5 creedmoor that I use as a hunting rifle, mostly for longer ranges targeting fallow deer. It dials accurately the zoom and side focus are super smooth, the optics are excellent even in low light. The zero stop is not perfect but it is easy to overlook that when looking at the package as a whole. I think they represent superb value for money.

I have a Delta 4-24x50 with target turret, where you can make 4 pre-sets. it is on my favourite small game hunting rig. i often shoot possums at 80m+ at night, i zoom into 24x and dial turret without looking at it. it is brilliant. one thing that worries me is that I do not know how long the turret will last given how much i use it.

The other Delta I have is the 9x45 range finder bino. Extremely good. I cannot see any difference in optical/image quality between it and Leica Geovid.

For a few years I wanted to get the Javlin. every reaview seems to show it is a brilliant scope. I fondled with it in Reloaders once as well. Then I realised that it is made in China. China makes high end smart phones, and certain should be capable of making a high end scope. The most important part of a scope is the erector system. we have no information as to who designed and who manufactured the erector system in the Javlin, or what materials are used. I will need more proven track record to be convinced before dropping 2k on one.

Mate, please tell me more about how you manage those presets. Mine is the 4-24x50 Delta Titanium. Are we talking about the same model??

It's an aftermarket turret, if you search up "delta titanium ballistic turret" you'll find it.

I have the javelin it's a nice scope just find the ffp reticle to thin for hunting up close perfect if you are 300m plus though

How do you find the reticle is it quite thin or usable for hunting thanks

Ignoring the reticle, it's probably the 5-50x56 version which is big and heavy. Not ideal for a hunting rig if you have to hump it up big hills. No probs if it's on a 10kg target rig that only gets dragged back and forth from a range mound.

I got mine secondhand as part of the package, I thought it was gimmick when i first saw it. I think a few years ago Delta may have sold them in nz as part of certain packages. But, yes they are pricy buying stand alone. I cannot say if 200 bucks is worth it for a few small pieces of metal but i love it now

If it was only a coupla hundy, it won't be a Delta Stryker
