Thanks for the review! After your video, I bought one, better than Athlon and Vortex. Extremely satisfied. Incredible optical, mechanical quality and good reticle design. Couldn't find better at this price (around $ 1300 in Europe). Supplied with great accessories. In my opinion, only scopes at 2x or 3x the price do better.

[@roscor6197]

In Canada the difference between the Javelin and Stryker is approx $1000 cad. I just ordered one of these after running a Delta titaniun hd 4-24x50 and a titanium hd 1-6x24. They are a class above in everything for the price point. I asked my dealer what he's had for warranty returns and he said he's been selling them for 5 years and had 1 come back...... says alot about quality.

[@roscor6197]

Just a follow up. Mounted the Javelin to a remmy 700 .223, like Joe says absolutley great scope! Better resolution, clearer, brighter than my pst II 5-25. I got the SMR2 reticle and love it. Other scope companies should take notice that busy reticles are so last decade. I hate a cluttered reticle, and Delta nailed it imo. The only detractor I have found is the eye box gets super tight after 20x. But most do at the top mag range. But in saying that it doesn't "darken out" noticeably at the top mag either like a lot of scopes do. My 2 cents.

Hey cyclops, I really love the reviews Delta's and Tracs Toric. My question is. I never see you evaluate the Nightforce SHV series which are under $1500. I have one and it serves me well but, I also think if these scopes we available when I bought this NF SHV, I would have got one of those two. There are pros and cons to the least expensive NF scopes. I hope you do a NF comparison sometime to these. As I see it. If you're not up in the $2200 plus range. They are not the greatest deal like people think. Jeffrey D

The question is I have a bergara b14 BMP 6.5 cred rifle which scope I can buy. My fear is that I will buy a high value one and cannot use it for its true use but at the same time I do not want to buy a bad one and that the range will be completely open. thanks att Alberto sorry for my English

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Man I prefer this scope . The reticle for me

[@ronws2007]

It is easy to want to trade up. Even I am doing such a thing with my Vortex scopes (let the hating begin, I am big guy like Joe, just taller.) My question is really just a matter of diminishing returns. Because I see this in guitars (my avatar is an Ibanez Gio.) You can spend 6 to 10 thousand dollars on just a guitar. Made with the wood you like, the electronics you like. Get some Seymour Duncans, or your favorite hot-rodded pick-ups. You can also get a an Epiphone for 500 dollars (the budget brand of Les Paul) and it plays just as well as the 10k guitar. Same with amps. Scott Grove, a veteran musician did a blind hearing test between a Fender tube amp that cost a few thousand dollars and Wal-Mart solid state cheapie amp and most people preferred teh Wal-Mart amp. I have a Roland GS-6 rack mount guitar effects unit that cost about $4k new in the late 80s and I bought in a pawn shop for a song and a dance. Nowadays, you have the Fender Mustang 100 that does everything that did at a fraction of the cost. (don't worry, I am getting to a point.) Is there a point of diminishing returns? Is the cap about $2,000? If you spend more than that, are you really increase the quality, or are you just paying for a name and some quality control? Don't get me wrong, the QC can be worth it. Just about every scope is made in the asian countries or with asian parts. And just because the asians sell at a low cost does not mean the parts are defective or low quality. I could see paying a good price for QC knowing that when I get it, there will be no problems because it already passed through someone's hands before I got it. But how far can QC go? Can they get these scopes on guns and fire rounds and put them under the real world strain of butt kicking recoil of a .300 Win Mag? Or even better, an AR-10 with a heavy buffer? This seems like a good scope and it could easily last you the rest of your life.

Greetings from Spain. I love the analysis you do. I am looking for a riflescope with a price around 1000 euros ($1099). I want to ask which riflescope is better to put on my 308 rifle for PRS basically. Delta Javelin FFP 4.5-30X56 SMR1 or ARKEN EP5 FFP 5-25X56. The price of the DELTA in Spain is 1100 euros ($1200), and ARKEN 899 euros ($988, much more expensive in Europe than in the US).

Joe, I watched this review and realized this scope only came in milrad, and i was hoping for MOA. Your second choice was an Athlon Cronus . Joe, if Athlon Cronus is 2nd to this, I gotta wonder if I ought to just suck it up with the mil rad . My top priority is glass quality. Am I making a mistake basing my decision on MOA over Mil Rad? I've never heard you so amped about a scope like you are the Deltas.

@@CyclopsJoeVideos yeh but joe night force claim nx8 2.5-20x56 ffp is the first scope of its type it’s twice the price of the javelin the first scope in the world there words on there site to suit every shooter woods or long distance shame they won’t send you one to test it would make or break it maybe that’s why they don’t send you scopes you frighten the shit out of them I only buy a scope after yours or Richard uttings reviews so I’ll just have to hold tight till it happens there is a review out on it but not like yous do them { the holly grail } type

same glass as the stryker? Whats the main difference that makes this model almost $600 under the stryker?

This is made in China . Stryker is made in Japan

Hello Joe, my names is Alfonso from Spain, the question is... Meopta optika6 5-30x56, or delta javelin? This scopes in my country are similar price, I'm going to buy tomorrow and I have to decide between the two. Thanks friend

Joe, I forgot to ask - how does the Javelin rate against the Nightforce SHV FFP scope?

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Well the NF is SFP , but otherwise they are very similar in quality

@@CyclopsJoeVideos Hi Joe. I had the Nightforce SHV FFP 4.5-14x50. I think the Javelin is better, even with Chinese glass! 👍

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Yeah man , the only problem I’ve seen with the SHV is there seems to be a big gap from scope to scope in quality

[@martinholland8782]

@@CyclopsJoeVideos thanks Joe - keep up the good work! This video and the one on the Vortex Strike Eagle were very helpful in assisting me in my decision to buy the Javelin. Be safe.

[@agent_operator]

Can you comment on its parallax. It doesn’t have much to adjust after 200m to infinity

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Most scopes the distance between the two are very small … because the difference is also very small

[@agent_operator]

@@CyclopsJoeVideos based on your very positive review I got a Javelin this week from my local supplier. Just by playing with it, it’s quite interesting that when I look at a target distance away thru the scope (with correct parallax) and set like at 20x or 30x power, the reticle seems to be blurry because of my eye shifting focus between the reticle and the target so I have to remove my eye off the scope and come back again. Have you experienced this too?
