Mike C Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 There's an unusually high discount on this scope from OW. Down from a RRP of 1399.95 to 349.95. What's the reason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Because the version that OW are selling does not have an illuminated reticle Basically there was a screwup between Riton in the USA and the factory in Japan where the scopes were being made Either Riton forgot to specify they wanted an illuminated reticle or the Japanese manufacturer forgot to fit an illuminated reticle Either way, Riton did not want the scopes so the Japanese manufacturer sold them off cheap to OW I have one and it's an OK dayscope which I use only for load development purposes because I like the ret and the magnification It's very poor at dusk - making it much more of a target scope than a hunting scope Cheers Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted January 21 Author Report Share Posted January 21 Nice to know that Bruce. Seeing as I personally don't need an illuminated ret for my uses and that it also contains ED glass... it might be worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dellboy Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 They are a good scope sold probably 4 or 5 and keep a couple in stock as said a good cheap daylight scope at that price .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_b Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 So Ive picked up a Riton 5-25 X5 for my 300PRC, and so far very impressed. I took it to Bisley for the first time this this morning, and Im delighted to say it fixes the 2 main issues I had with my rather early vortex viper. It focuses close enough so I can see the HME target clearly, and on a 30MOA rail its got enough travel down to set a 100 yard zero, and then elevation to reach out to a mile.

Trigger73 Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 I had the X7 and the scope felt very well made, it presented well but ..and for me it was a big but, at full mag (25), there was so much CA that I sent it back. To some this wouldn't be an issue but I couldn't get past it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
