Riton Optics is adding a new 2-12x44 riflescope to its PRIMAL product family. This new scope is a versatile second-focal-plane riflescope that uses Riton Optics’ PHD (Precision Hunting Dot) reticle and high-quality fully multi-coated glass, topped with assembly in a clean room to prevent contamination. In order to withstand the rigors of hard outdoor use, this dry nitrogen purged, sealed, waterproof, shockproof and fog-proof rifle optic is built with an outer housing made from a single piece of CNC milled 6061 T6 aluminum. The exterior of the optic is Type III hardcoated and anodized.
