We are closing, time for new adventures.

We delayed the communication pending confirmation of whom will take Delta Optical to the next level. This is not confirmed, but we can advise that Normark have accepted their willingness to take on Delta.

Normark are 100% wholesale, none of the inherent risks that a combined retail strategy brings. Normark are strongly focused on the big European brands making a Polish extension a natural synergy.

We will communicate the Delta decision when confirmed but could not hold this communication back.

TPK stock, furniture and fittings is being sold off at cost, except for Delta optics which will be transferred to the new distributor.

Many closing functions mean that our operating hours are impacted. We are open this week however times and days are irregular. We commit 100% to be open on Monday 25th (09h30 -14h00) and Tuesday 26th (12h00-18h00).

From Wednesday 27th we will NOT be open for further trade as the remaining inventory will be boxed and put in a container for its new destination.

We still have big bore ammunition in stock. All licensed products remaining will shortly be placed with another dealer, pending disposal from their register.

Limited communication on social media. Contact the business or better visit the premises.

How much scope do you really need?

Walk and stalk hunting, ranges up to 300m, most focus on criteria such as weight, minimal distraction and magnification that is adequate field of view on the low end, and up to 9x or 12x.

In picture is the DELTA Optical Titanium 1.5-9

A past discussion with Delta around their 10-year warranty vs. certain brands life warranties. The answer “we focus on winning wars, not the tactical victories”.

In every war there is the tactical victory followed by the political war. Some cultures focus on tactical only, winning battles but not the war.

At Delta the sale is important (tactical victory) but the war is won with low to zero defective rates.

All Styker sporting scopes and Titanium range hunting scopes are designed in Poland and manufactured in Japan … by Japanese.

Delta Stryker 3–21x44 in action during the inaugural North vs South ELR Derby, held at Matroosbergstasie near Worcester in the Western Cape. The 12 best ELR competitors from the northern region of South Africa faced off against the 12 best from the south, with targets ranging from 1,700 m to 3,246 m.

This scope was mounted on a .338 Lapua Magnum built on a BAT M action, featuring a 32" Benchmark 1:9 twist barrel, a TriggerTech Diamond trigger, and a Warrior Gen 7 chassis - all high-end components tailored for extreme challenges and fierce competition.

Not only is it top-tier glass, but the Delta Stryker is also perfectly suited for ELR shooters who demand maximum elevation travel (45 mrad usable) and a simple yet highly effective reticle (DLR3) DELTA Optical
