JerryC's Review of Riton Optics X1 Tactix Mag3 3x Magnifier
Bought this to pair with my Riton X1 Tactix RRD on a Ruger 556 flat top. Overall like the look and operation. Nice wide field of view, clear bright optics, seems durable and well made. I like that the windage and elevation adjustments on the magnifier do not affect the red dot impact point, just moves the optics to center the view.
Now the reasons I did not give it 5 stars. Even though the view is not affected, the Magnifier does not exactly line up with the Red dot. Off by 1mm or so. Second and it may have been just an oversight on my unit but there were no instructions in the box and there are none on their website. I emailed and got no response, (it's been over a week), Installation is easy and straightforward. Adjustment where intuitive so I figured it out. And lastly after initial installation and testing the flip away feature I realized I would rather have it flip to the left (I'm left handed). In right handed mode one pulls the magnifier back to flip it away, when reversed one has to push forward to flip. Therefore one must leave enough room between the magnifier and the red dot for this movement. about 1/4"
