It can get very bright. Even insanely bright and daylight bright in the brightest Florida\u2019s sunshine. Most budget or mid-tier optics struggle with daylight brightness in my experience. You won\u2019t have that problem here.<\/p>\n<p>The eye box is also massive and it\u2019s very easy to get behind the optic and get on target. Eye relief is a very generous 3.9 inches. Both are nice touches and must-haves on a tactical rifle optic.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Going the Distance<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>At longer ranges, the <a href=\"https:\/\/ritonoptics.com\/product-category\/optics\/\">3 Tactix<\/a> is clearer than it has any right to be. Riton\u2019s HD glass ensures things stay nice and clear. They claim over 99% light transmission. Whatever it is, you get a great sight picture with this optic, and it\u2019s remarkably clear. Even out to 450 yards, I could see the area and the target quite clearly.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_531012\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-531012\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-531012 size-large\" alt=\"Riton 3 Tactix 1-8x24 LPVO\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/0817221749b-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/0817221749b-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/0817221749b-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/0817221749b-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/0817221749b-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/0817221749b-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/0817221749b-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/0817221749b-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/0817221749b-1920x1080.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/0817221749b-747x420.jpg 747w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/0817221749b-560x315.jpg 560w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/0817221749b-700x394.jpg\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-531012 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/0817221749b-700x394.jpg\" alt=\"Riton 3 Tactix 1-8x24 LPVO\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/0817221749b-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/0817221749b-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/0817221749b-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/0817221749b-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/0817221749b-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/0817221749b-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/0817221749b-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/0817221749b-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/0817221749b-1920x1080.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/0817221749b-747x420.jpg 747w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/0817221749b-560x315.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-531012\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Riotn adds athrow lever for easy magnification manipulations (Travis Pike for TTAG)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I dismounted the optic and used it to spy on my wife as she took our dog for a walk.
