Worst video ever. He doesn't tell us what he's doing. He hardly talks and when he does he turns away from the camera and mumbles to his mate. What was the end result??? Who knows???
I agree with Dexter. My 270 Shot best with RL22 and IMR 4350 with Nosler 150grn Bts.at 3080 fps. My 130 grm BTs were doing 3200fps with RL22. I'm getting ready to load up the 145eldx Bullets with StaBall 6.5 and Hodgdon Superformance. We'll see just how well it does. One more thing. 270s love longer Barrels.
Great video , I'm fortunate enough to own a nightforce atacr 7x35 and nightforce NX8 5x32 and I brought myself a delta striker a few months ago I believe both nightforce have better glass but for the money you pay for them you would expect that. The delta I was blown away with for the money I really believe it punches well above its weight.
The sling swivels are quick detach SO you can take them off when shooting on bench and not scratch your fancy foreend! live and learn. Forget mounting a bipod as there is not enough wood to hold a stud due to the takedown wrench channel. Use folding 3 sticks!
Greetings from Canada! Love HBN, been using for a few years now in my .300 win mag and right now have a new barrel for my .243 that I plan to use with it as well. Nothing but great results. Need to clean less. Higher velocity possible. Less shift from cold bore to subsequent shots. Longer barrel life. Got a 120 Barnes tac tx to 4050 fps in the .300. Also have a one ragged hole accurate group with 225 eld m. Both hbn treated. I’ve never bothered with barrel break in :)
I just purchesed the Delta stryker 4.5x30x56 and it is just amazing. Better than amazing. I love this scope. Put it on my Anschutz 22wmr and am loving it.
Hello, I am calling you from Iran. We are very limited in terms of hunting equipment and we do not have all these facilities like you. Considering that we are very interested in hunting, please announce the amount of gunpowder for a 270 bullet with a 130 grenade. Thank you.
I bought a Delta Striker after seeing your comparison, thanks. I find the illumination very poor, 11 settings and it is only visible from 11 to 7 and 7 can barely visible. Others, Paul Pattrrson, find the illumination good, could mine be defective?
I took a antelope with 140 RDFs this week, he took three through the chest and one high along the spine before going out, I would not use these on game they do not expand or tumble at all
Awesome review. I watched a review earlier and it was mentioned that the bipod in the right conditions could walk but didn’t show it happening. You helped make up my mind on which version to go with. I think the extra money spent will be worth it.
Someone is going to have to explain to me how a bullet, which is softer than steel, is going to have any effect on the steel. That's like trying to sharpen a knife using Jell-O!
good video - i wouldnt be comparing a Delta stryker 5-50 sfp though with a NXS nightforce ... i would use a NF Comp for this review... having said that I agree I would still be choosing the Delta... its better quality than NF Comp in its build although NF Comp glass is brighter and perhaps slightly sharper if ur into that... personally i think glass is important but not the be all end all for a competition scope ... i only use March's and have 3 now because my gunsmith wouldn't talk to me if I used anything else and i guess i have come to love them as well.... they are completely handmade and lapped etc but that doesnt mean they are the best ... just that they are the most labor intensive in their production method so they do cost more than a NF and certainly a Delta... All three scopes are very good so each to their own - i couldnt see you going wrong with any of these brands
Well i think its really what long range discipline u are shooting. I shoot Heavy Gun and F class. When I built my 7mm saum i was hung up over a nightforce 15-55×52mm competition and a March X 10-60×52mm. Due to the vortex scare gold eagle was not an option. It came down to warranty and i went nightforce, another reason was if you look at what scope was used most with top shooters in BR u will see its nightforce, with march right there close behind. So i would say there doing something right. I notice tho alot of people who knock nightforce are people who dont want to pay for them.
Just got a 270 and I’m off to buy my powder for my first round of hand loads. My gun stores running a little light on certain powders I’m going to be looking for H4831 For 130 and 140 grain loads
Thanks for your thoughts and opinions. If I may make a tiny suggestion... provide a view through the optics at the various magnifications with and with out illumination. Granted it will never be as good as the naked eye but it’s something more than nothing at all.... cheer mate.
Nothing wrong with NF. I have 2 of them, (2 Leupolds and 2 S&Bs). But I have 5 Deltas and think they give me all the features I want with a great mag range for a lot less money than the more famous US and German brands. I love the Stryker 4.5-30x56 HD for PRS matches and the wife and I have one each for our .308s. I just received the Stryker 5-50x56 from Optics Trade (a fantastic worldwide vendor out of Slovenia) for my CZ MTR .22lr. Sometimes want very high mag for those tiny rimfire targets at 50m but also want the wide view at 5x. 107 MOA of internal adjustment will also get the .22 out to 400m with a 20-30 MOA base. My new gen Stryker has parallax from 10 to 1,500 m which is awesome. Same for the other 2020 new gen Strykers. I am pretty sure the Strykers are made in the same factory in Japan as NF. I have also just received one of the new Delta Javelin 4.5-30x56 made in China scopes for a semi-auto .17 WSM. It is nearly as good as the Stryker for a much lower price and should do OK for PRS. Where I live in Thailand most people are shooting Vortexes because that is a trusted US brand that is readily available here. No one else has Deltas. I have no connection with Delta or any vendor.
Optilock are pricy and you are probably better off looking at rings from Nightforce , Vortex or well designed ones I could recommend such as from Warne . Picatinny are really for long range and you do not need them for small scopes. Mountain tactical have excellent picatinny mounts. Would really depend on the type of shooting you are doing and the scope you are using.
