Delta Stryker 3.5-21x44 Review - The Ultimate Do-Everything Scope
When looking at a scope, there are lots of features to consider and even more opinions, but what do you need and what do you listen to? A Delta Stryker & Me, listen to me. The Delta Stryker 3.5-21x44 represents the best magnification range and value for one scope to do everything; hunting, target, and even flexing on your mates that your scope is better. These scopes are hard to beat and easy to see why.
Quick Look
The 3.5-21x44 Stryker offers the perfect amount of magnification for all shooting types, Field Target, Precision Rimfire, Long Range Target, Long range hunting & even Short Range Hunting. If you are shooting close in, 3.5x magnification is perfect for hunting and quick shooting while 21x magnification is perfect for long-range target and other precision shooting styles. It features a very easy-to-use, Christmas tree-style reticle with numbered elevation and windage marks & illumination for those low-light shooting conditions. 45 MRAD of elevation adjustment, 24 MRAD of windage adjustment & 10 MRAD of adjustment with each revolution, this unit blows it's competitors out of the water, they just cannot compare With only a 44mm objective, critics would assume that the field of view is not good enough to be on par with other units around the 20x mark but they would be wrong, this unit offers more field of view than comparable units in price and in magnification, 11.1m to 1.9m at 100m is far more than most other units. With more Adjustment, Field of view & more uses...you just get more from this unit that you can even use. The scope even comes with white lines on the side of the scope so that when mounting, it removes a lot of the guesswork and makes it simple with just aligning the white line with the ring mount and voila, scope level.
Reticle
The Christmas-Tree style reticle makes it easy to quick on the fly adjustments for elevation and windage as they are numbered and the first focal plane (FFP) location of the reticle means the subtensions of the reticle will be correct at any magnification as the reticle will magnify and zoom out with the scopes magnification, this means 1 mrad at 3.5x power will be the same distance on the reticle as on 21x power. It removes any doubt for the correct adjustment and makes you a more accurate shooter. Elevation and wind calls simultaneously are a breeze with this, as it displays a wind hold on the respective elevation hold. For example, imagine a 6 MRAD holdover with a 1 MRAD call for wind; it is simple to make this as you would move down to the 6 mark and across to the larger 1 MRAD mark for wind.
Magnification & Field of View
Having the correct amount of magnification for your shooting type is critical. Whether it is dictated by rules or usability, having the correct zoom will determine how your shooting experience is. For hunting, having a variable lower power scope around the sub 15x power range is great because it has a low enough power that you can use it for scanning and searching while having enough (but not too much) power to take those shots. While for the target, having up to 21x power is ideal for most shooting past 1000m. Most of the time, for less than 1000m, you won't be using the max magnification anyway; you'll be on around 10x to 18x power. Having all the magnification in the world doesn't matter if you can't see around your target. Field of view comes in handy for shooting, when scanning (obviously) and less thought of...when you miss! If you can't see around your target and you miss, you will have no reference for what adjustment you need to make, and you won't be able to make an accurate follow-up shot. That is where this scope beats its competitors. This scope's field of view is amazing at 11.1m to 1.9m (depending on magnification) at 100m. This easily beats Vortex Strike eagles, Razors, Vipers and even the 56mm version of the Delta Stryker.

Honest Opinion
I love this scope.... It has the perfect magnification, field of view, reticle, adjustment, size and weight to do anything and do it all well. That can't be said for 99% of scopes. You could use this scope for anything, and it would be the best scope at doing it. Amazingly clear glass, crisp reticle with easy to read marks and illumination, a reference mark for ease of mounting and tactile turrets which adjust to the sun and back, what is not to love? Yes, it is a healthy amount of money, but buy once, cry once. I promise you this will be the best scope you have used, and you will not regret buying this scope. Truly one scope to rule them all.
