Riton Optics Tactix ARD 2

Riton Optics has just unveiled the new 1 Tactix ARD 2 reflex red dot sight. This new red dot sight is designed to be both versatile and affordable. The sight can be mounted in different ways, such as on a taller Picatinny based mount or on shorter mounts that directly connect to the optics using the established Aimpoint Micro footprint pattern. The optic itself also gives shooters the choice to shoot with red dot only or a reticle consisting of a central red dot and a wider outer ring.

“There’s no one way to use an AR in the field, so an optic has to be able to provide flexibility required by users,” said Chris Varas, assistant director of product at Riton. “The 1 Tactix ARD 2 gives shooters a lot of functionality, and does so at a price that isn’t a barrier to entry.”

With an MSRP of just $229.99, the 1 Tactix ARD 2 represents a tremendous value for anyone looking to employ a red dot optic for their long gun.

“It’s fun to bring products to market that offer so much utility and that have so many valuable use cases” Trent Marsh, marketing director for Riton, added. “It’s at home on a carbine, an AR pistol, even your shotgun for spring turkey, and it will perform and meet the needs of all of those circumstances. That’s a fun product story to tell,” he concluded.
