Overview

The Riton Series 3 Tactix is a 1-8x24 low power variable optic in FDE finish, built around a second focal plane illuminated reticle for both close range and longer distance shots.

Its main feature is the Dual Throw Lever System, which mounts in two possible locations and three lever heights so shooters can set up magnification changes to match their own grip and stance. The body is machined from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum.

  • 1-8x24 second focal plane illuminated reticle
  • FDE finish on 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum body
  • Dual Throw Lever System with two locations and three heights
  • Built for both close quarters and mid-range shooting

Who it's for

Suits shooters who need one scope to cover close quarters and mid-range distance work, particularly on an AR-platform rifle. Not built as a dedicated long-range precision scope given its 8x top magnification.

Performance notes

The 1-8x24 range and daylight bright illuminated reticle are meant to keep the sight picture usable from point-blank distances up to a few hundred yards. Because the reticle sits in the second focal plane, its subtensions are only accurate at a specific magnification setting, typically the top of the zoom range.

Frequently asked

Questions about the Riton 3T18ASIFDE23

Common buyer questions answered straight from the product spec data - no fluff, no "it depends".

Is the reticle on the Riton Series 3 Tactix first or second focal plane?

It uses a second focal plane reticle, so subtensions are calibrated for one magnification setting rather than scaling through the zoom range.

What magnification range does this scope cover?

It runs 1-8x with a 24mm objective lens.

Can the throw lever be repositioned?

Yes, it uses Riton's Dual Throw Lever System, which mounts in two locations and comes in three available heights.
