    I have the 4-24x50 with the interchangeable turrets. Its been on my Tikka 6.5 Creedmoor for a while and shot a few Fallow with this combo. I agree with most of which has already been said. The 4A SB crosshair work well in conjunction with Strelock, by using the magnification adjustment you can dial a hash mark to match a distance. I would have preferred to dial up for distances but the elevation dial which will fit under the cap has very small marks and numbers so difficult to see at any time let alone low light. the larger uncapped dials look great but as has already been said the zero stop is not ideal, all it does is stop the dial going too far past the zero but cannot be adjusted to stop right at zero. For me this is a problem, compared to My Swarozski with the ballistic turrets in low light I don't even have to look at the scope to check the turrets are still at zero, I just grab the turret and and try to turn it towards Zero if its already there nothing happens, if its been bumped then it goes to zero and stops, also after taking a longer range shot, same thing, I dial back to zero without having to look. Because of this I find myself using holdover or the hash marks for longer shots with the Delta. On the upside, the scope dials accurately the clicks are crisp with almost no backlash. the zoom is solid and smooth, The optics are clear and in low light would be the equal of my Swarovski. i think they are exceptional value for money and are the equal of more well known brands which sell for a lot more. I would own another one.
