The Riton Optics 1 Primal 3-9x40mm rifle scope delivers precision optics at an accessible price point, combining Japanese glass with robust construction for hunters and recreational shooters. This variable power scope features the versatile RHR (Riton Hunting Reticle) for quick target acquisition across multiple shooting scenarios.
What Makes This Different
The 1 Primal series incorporates fully multi-coated lenses with Japanese ED glass elements, providing 92% light transmission compared to standard scopes that typically achieve 85-88%. The single-piece 6061-T6 aluminum tube construction eliminates potential failure points found in multi-piece designs. Riton's proprietary RHR reticle system offers holdover points calibrated for common hunting cartridges without cluttering the sight picture.
Key Features
- 3-9x variable magnification with 40mm objective lens for versatile range applications
- Japanese ED glass with fully multi-coated optics achieving 92% light transmission
- RHR hunting reticle with precision holdover points and windage references
- Single-piece 6061-T6 aluminum tube construction rated for magnum cartridges
- Fast-focus eyepiece with 3.7-4.2 inches eye relief across magnification range
- Capped turrets with 1/4 MOA click adjustments and audible/tactile feedback

Field performance centers on the scope's ability to maintain zero through temperature fluctuations and recoil stress. The 40mm objective gathers sufficient light for dawn and dusk hunting while maintaining a compact profile suitable for lightweight hunting rifles. Turret tracking remains consistent across the 60 MOA adjustment range, supporting precision shots from 100 to 400 yards with proper ballistic calculations.
