It's not great, but @ $450 not too bad. For what I'm doing now, it works. CA gets a bit wonky after ~ 18x.. that's where I'm using it. |

I saw earlier in the thread the WC 11.3" 5.56 barrel is GTG. Please chime in with your thoughts.. I'm having no luck at all making bug holes with my latest acquisition, a CMC 10.5" .223 Wylde bbl.
All the specs on the CMC are fantastic, but I'm just getting no consistency at all with it. It sure as does look nice, and the H&M Black Nitride+ finish is as good as it gets. But it's not happen'n for this kid anyway.. Carry on Edit: Oh yeah, @RTUtah Nice stick! |

It's made in Japan at the same factory as the Razor (LOW), is about the same weight as the Steiner, has a daylight bright reticle, no black tunnel effect (similar to Razor, superior to PST), simple mil reticle, and can be found around $700 new. I'm running it on my 300blk MR and have struggled to find fault with it. I also have the VXr Patrol 1.25-4 in an Aero mount on my RDB; I like how crazy light it is and the shake-awake firedot is nice, but the Delta is much easier to use at minimum magnification and has a more forgiving eyebox. https://youtu.be/lt7ut0HEkgU |
