Delta Optical Hornet 1x Prism Scope

• True 1x prism design: The fixed 1x magnification supports fast, both-eyes-open shooting while giving a more defined aiming image than many open reflex sights.
• Etched FOV reticle: The 1 MOA aiming point inside a 60 MOA ring helps pick up targets quickly at short range, while the etched reticle remains usable even if the battery is depleted.
• Diopter adjustment: With +2 / -2 correction, the sight can be tuned to the shooter’s eye, which is especially useful for users who normally rely on corrective lenses.
• Compact, durable housing: A 115 mm body, 374 g weight, nitrogen filling, and waterproof, fogproof, shockproof construction make it practical for hard field use and changing weather.
• Practical mounting setup: The included Picatinny/Weaver mount with 1/3 co-witness adapter simplifies installation on AR-platform rifles and similar carbines.

About the Delta Optical Hornet Series

Delta Optical Hornet is a compact tactical optics series built around fast target acquisition and practical shooting use. The family currently includes Hornet 1-6x24 riflescopes in DDBR and DDMR reticle versions, alongside the Hornet 1x prism sight. Across the series, the emphasis is on short- to medium-range shooting where speed matters as much as precision.

Within the lineup, the prism model stands out for shooters who want the handling of a red dot but prefer the sharper reticle presentation of a prism optic. The series uses second focal plane reticle layouts in its variable-power models, while the prism version uses a distinctive aiming pattern with a 1 MOA central point inside a 60 MOA ring. That layout is designed for rapid centering on close targets without giving up a precise aiming reference. The Hornet concept also reflects a practical mechanical approach: compact dimensions, straightforward controls, and features suited to dynamic shooting, training carbines, and AR-style platforms.

About the Delta Optical Hornet 1x Prism Scope

Delta Optical Hornet 1x Prism Scope is a fixed-power prism sight made for shooters who want the speed of a non-magnified optic with the more defined sight picture of a prism system. Its 1x magnification keeps handling natural at close range, making it well suited to dynamic shooting, tactical carbine setups, and general-purpose AR-platform use. The wide 228.00 m/100m field of view helps maintain awareness around the target, which is valuable when moving between multiple targets or shooting in confined spaces.

The sight uses the FOV reticle in the second focal plane. In practice, the key advantage is the reticle layout itself: a 1 MOA aiming point inside a 60 MOA ring gives a fine central reference for deliberate shots while keeping the outer ring easy to pick up under time pressure. Because this is a prism design with an etched reticle, the aiming point remains visible even without battery power, unlike many conventional red dots. The optic also offers 10 brightness levels plus two night modes, so it can be adapted to bright daylight as well as use with night vision devices.

Its + 2.0 / - 2.0 diopter adjustment is especially useful for shooters who need to fine-tune the reticle to their eyesight. A generous 137.00 mm eye relief supports flexible head position and comfortable use on carbines. The compact body, fully multicoated lenses, nitrogen filling, and waterproof, fogproof, shockproof construction make this prism scope a practical choice for regular outdoor use in changing conditions.

About Delta Optical

Delta Optical traces its beginnings to 1989, when it opened an optics shop for enthusiasts. The company is a Polish manufacturer headquartered in Nowe Osiny, near Mińsk Mazowiecki, and it serves users across astronomy, biology, hunting, and shooting. That broad optics background is reflected in a product range that covers both observation equipment and sporting sights.

In the shooting category, Delta Optical is known for riflescope lines such as Titanium, Stryker, and Hornet. The company states that its sporting scopes use proprietary reticles and anti-reflective coatings, showing a focus on practical optical performance rather than feature lists alone. Within its lineup, Hornet addresses fast, short-range shooting applications, while other series extend into hunting and precision target roles.
