Riton 1 Conquer 6-24x50 Rifle Scope

"I mounted it on one of my rifles and was absolutely blown away by the quality of this optic. The glass is crystal clear, and parallax adjust is on point. The retical is super easy to use and precise." -- Tactical / Law Enforcement User.

Conquer long-distance shooting on a budget.

Riton 1 Conquer Review

We test the products we sell! Check out our video and written review below.

The Conquer scope ships in a magnetic lidded box, suspended in high-density foam. This should provide good protection against damage should the box take a hit during shipping. Inside...

The Conquer comes with a zero top ring for the elevation turret, a flush screw to cap the magnification ring's threaded throw lever mounting hole, a microfiber cloth, and an Allen key for removing the turret caps to set your zero.

Ocular Lens & Focus

The ocular lens on the X1 scope is ground well and polished before the multi-coating is applied. There are no artifacts or fish-eye lens effects visible to the viewer, and chromatic aberration is minimal, even at 24x. Exit pupil measures 8.2mm at 6x and 2.1mm at 24x. Estimated eye relief measures 3.9", or 10mm. Overall, the ocular lens provides excellent clarity and sharpness for the SFP reticle.

The fast-focus eye provides good clarity and adjustment, with a relatively wide field of range. The adjustment feels fluid and provides modest resistance against unwanted movement. 

Magnification Adjustments

As advertised, the Riton X1 provides an excellent range of magnification from 8x to 24x. The MOA reticle provides accurate subtensions and holdovers at 24x, only. 

Like the focus ring, the magnification ring provides fluid motion and stays put when set. The threaded throw lever can be removed and replaced with a flush-mount cap screw.

MOA Turrets

The X1's windage and elevation turrets provide solid, positive clicks with each 1/4-MOA adjustment (0.25" at 100 yards). The total adjustment range for either turret is +/- 67 MOA. Adjustments are clearly marked with laser-engraved white markings. There is no creep or "slop" between clicks, ensuring each single  adjustment provides an accurate amount of MOA travel.

Setting The Zero Stop

To set the zero stop on elevation, the scope must first be zeroed. Then, the elevation turret cap can be removed with the provided Allen key.

Grab a Lead Sled to make zeroing easy.

With the cap removed, the threaded turret post is exposed. The rubber O-ring must be carefully removed to allow clearance for the zero stop to be threaded onto the post. The O-ring should be removed with a plastic clip, or the edge of a credit card. Avoid using sharp pliers or a metal implement, as thi can cut or tear the O-ring.

Finally, the zero can be threaded onto the turret post. There are two small set screws within the stop that must be threaded outward, to ensure good clearance. 

Once the zero stop is resting at the base of the turret, tighten each set screw. Then reinstall the turret cap, ensuring the "0" markings are aligned with the base of the turret.

The Riton R3 Reticle (SFP)

The MOA "R3" reticle provided in the X1 Conquer is phenomenal. This writer compares it directly to his (much more expensive) Sightron SIII. Subtension markings are perfectly accurate, having been verified with a sight-in target at 100 yards on 24x power. At full power, the second-focal plane reticle provides easy-to-read measurements.

Here's the difference between first and second focal plane.

The center dot measures 1/4 MOA, while the distance between each subtension measures 1 MOA. The height of the small subtensions measures 2 MOA, while the tall subtensions measure 4 MOA in height.

Objective Lens

Like its ocular lens, the X1 Conquer's objective lens sports a perfect grind and polish, with an effective multi-coat lens that reduces UV transmission and enhances clarity. Low-light levels are good, comparable to more expensive options (like the SIII and Vortex Viper PST). The objective lens lip is threaded for an optional sunshade, sold separate.

Scope Length

With the focus eyepiece at full extension (~0.5" from the tube), the X1 Conquer's total length, without lens covers, measures just under 14.5".

Is the Conquer X1 Good Enough?

This writer says, "Yes." Above is the Riton Conquer X1 on the left, and the Sightron SIII (6x-24x50) on the right. Both optics are being viewed at 24x in very low-light conditions at a distance of 100 yards. The SIII provides a picture of the target that's just barely sharper downrange, but the difference is minor. 

Read our review of the Sightron SIII (6-24x50).

The Riton X1 suffers less chromatic aberration and glow/bloom around  the edges of bright objects. Its reticle's clarity and sharpness is identical to that of the Sightron. In fact, the Riton's subtensions may be a bit sharper and clearer. 

This comparison is significant: The Riton X1 comes in at around $250, while the SIII series of scopes starts at about $1,000 for a model with comparable specs and features. That makes the X1 Conquer a scope that competes with a mid-top-tier model, but with a retail price that's 75% cheaper.
