#3TACTIXEED

It says it there in the title and long story short, I haven’t killed it yet. Today we’re talking about a familiar yet new(ish) face to the enclosed red dot world – the Riton Optics 3 Tactix EED (Enclosed Emitter Dot). This optic is new for Riton but may be familiar to those who are also familiar with Nutrek Optics who is the OEM manufacturer for both the new 3 Tactix EED and Viridian RFX45 Enclosed Green Dot. While I think it’s personally fair to call the two optics more or less the same, they do differ in a few ways besides the color of the dot, and to better showcase those differences I was able to get Riton Optics to send me a copy of the EED for testing and evaluation. After testing some of the most durable products in optics like the new Trijicon RCR, and RMR HD, I wanted to see what a more “budget-friendly” option like the EED could offer me as a pistol shooter. Country of origin aside, I think it’s worth testing out the EED to see what it’s capable of and how it holds up to my level of destructive range antics.

The red dot market has been steadily seeing all of its major contributors add their own flavor of the enclosed red dot to the market. Riton Optics is no different and today they’ve finally announced their new 3 TACTIX EED (Enclosed Emitter Red Dot). This new addition comes in right around $300 in price and comes standard with a top-loading battery tray, 3 MOA dots, and a couple of adapter plates to fit different handgun optics-cut footprints.
