Riton is an optics company based in Tucson. Recently I got the opportunity to check out one of their tactical riflescopes called 3 Tactix along with a quick-detach (QD) mount.

Kore Essentials EDC Gun Belt Review
A good belt is one of the most overlooked parts of carrying a gun. A lot of folks put hundreds or thousands of dollars in their gun and holster rig, only to use a cheap, weak, and flimsy piece of leather to hold it to their body. If you couldn’t tell by my snarky tone, […]
JM4 Tactical Coffee Review
I’m a huge coffee drinker, and I don’t just mean because I’m enormous and happen to drink this magical wake up juice. I mean that I look forward to my coffee in the morning and enjoy each and every sip of it. While I’d drink any coffee if necessary, I’m actually fairly picky when it […]

Bone-Dri Rifle Case Review
While I was out at SHOT Show 2022 I was contacted by a newer rifle case manufacturer to see if I’d be willing to do a review on one of their rifle cases. I tend to lean toward the whole “you can’t have too many” of certain things, rifle cases included, so I said yes. […]
Exos Gear range bag: upscale features at a moderate price
The title encapsulates my thoughts on this bag by Exos Gear, but I’ll back that up here with actual consumer information. Exos Gear is a small producer of accessories that I’ve become quite fond of for their style and durability. Having experienced the company’s gun belt, tactical backpack, and the first edition of the bag […]
