Buy recommendations Riton rifle scopes

Has anyone had experience with RITON scopes? Looking at getting a 1 Primal 4-16 (unsure if I want to spend the extra on a 3primal) for the gen2 ruger American 5.56 I’ve been waiting on (sent to warranty upon arrival) since February.
My other scopes are sig sauer tango 4 on a semi, vortex on the 308 or a 3–9 luepold I had to shim to get zerod on a bolt 22lr.

We had nothing but poor luck with the Riton's we stocked at first, and so stopped stocking them. But i have customers who also like them. That being said be aware if you have an issue the warranty is a bit of a pain to use. (at least it was when we were stocking them too)

The new redesigned ones are supposedly better, but we'd landed the Vortex account by then, and both brands are fairly similar price point wise. (I did find the new ones to be a bit yellow when i was looking at them at the last big rock dealer show, before big rock went out of business, as well, but that could have been because we were in an event hall)

What kind of problems were you having with them? Mostly warranty related issues?

If you jiggled the scope the reticle would move.

No, that's the activation of the "Dynamic Zero" feature. Very handy, you never have to worry about manually adjusting your optic again.
