Opt to pay a bit more though, and quality will normally shine through (no pun intended) where optics are concerned. Delta Optical hardware is precision engineered by the Light Optical factory in Japan. If the elongated and rather sleek profile of this model looks familiar, that’s because it is based on the Lightstream model of the same specification, originated by the late Alan Konyn. Lightstreams were produced at the same factory and had an excellent reputation for upmarket glassware. So, this Delta Optical Titanium 4.5-14x44 FFP HFT AO has a good start in life. Turrets are rather similar to Leupold, in that they are tall target style, and both have screw caps for protection. The finger friendly design means that no screwdriver or coin is needed. Delta’s HD/ED Japanese glass system is incorporated into these scopes and this is a big contributory factor in the impressive low-light performance on offer. Clarity, resolution and sharpness of image. This is an impressive performer, with great glass, and superior build quality, and with that highly useful reticle, it’s difficult to fault what’s on offer. This Delta Titanium is a sound investment for sure.
