Awesome, glad to hear, feel better!I have one in hand (thanks to Don at @Annex Defense) and once I kick this nasty cold I will get it out and put it through my testing scenarios but trying to deal with optics and resolutions charts while battling a migraine has not been a very good recipe in the past . Initial impressions are very positive.
Did you get the tree reticle? The illumination is pretty bright on them. Wondering how the other reticle is with looks like only the center dot illuminated?Just got mine from annex yesterday, have not had time to side by side it with anything just played with it the house some. Seems solid so far.
Edit to add I got it because of Ilya's brief review also. Was leaning towards the Mark 5 at first.
No I got the DLR-1. Need to get it out in daylight but it is not going to be daylight bright by any means on lower magnification.Did you get the tree reticle? The illumination is pretty bright on them. Wondering how the other reticle is with looks like only the center dot illuminated?
Which reticle do you have? Mine is the DLR-1. I am hoping you have the DPRC-1 for what you are describing.I just took out my 3.5-21x Delta outside since the sun broke though and the illumination at max was easily visible against a dark background on min magnification. I compared it with my 6-36x Gen 3s and the Delta illumination at min magnification was a touch brighter and way brighter than my T6Xi. My S8 Sightron was a little brighter though. The good thing is CA was well controlled even with all the snow here - better than my T6Xi.
In your review you mention it wins in terms of adjustment, FOV, close focus, overall mag, but I'm curious how you felt about the eyebox (6x erector vs. Leupy's 5x?) and turrets (no locking turret, Leupy has that quick locking). Those two qualities and now the PR2-mil reticle are the main draws of the Mk5 to me for a gas gun. If the Stryker's eyebox was just as good and reticle was workable at the low end of mag, I'd probably be sold.I have had the 3.5-21x44 Stryker for a little while now and I am quite impressed. One of the most balanced crossover designs I have seen in a while. Given the price, I literally have nothing to nitpick about. It is sorta frustrating that way.

Japan LOWAny info on where these are made?
Thanks!Japan LOW
Just got it mounted on rifle Thursday. As soon as I get to the range and get some time behind will give a update.How’s the reticle (DLR-1) on 3.5x without illumination?
Any updates on the eye box? @Whistlepigs
Sorry about not updating this guys, I have tore my achilles tendon so not able to get out and do much at all.Just got it mounted on rifle Thursday. As soon as I get to the range and get some time behind will give a update.
