5 Primal 3 18X50 Right Facing Objective (1)

The Riton 5 Primal 3-18x50mm Crossover Scope combines a decade of precision and long-range optics innovation to create a versatile option equally suited for 1,000-yard shooting and backcountry hunting. There is an increasing demand for riflescopes to cover the needs of long-range hunters and shooters. As hunting and precision shooting needs converge, this scope addresses both with capped turrets for reliable adjustments and superior light management for low-light conditions.

The magnification range provides optimal performance and situational awareness from close encounters in heavy timber to open country vistas and long-range opportunities. The rugged 34mm chassis ensures durability and allows for greater windage and elevation adjustments. The first-focal-plane Long-Range Hunter (LRH) reticle offers duplex simplicity at low magnifications and higher-level precision. With precision-inspired features tailored for hunters, the 5 Primal is a true crossover optic priced at $999.99. For more information, visit Riton Optics at ritonoptics.com.

Rethinking Ragù: Venison Ragù Bianco

In Italy, ragù simply refers to a slow-cooked meat sauce. Bolognese—ragù alla Bolognese—is just one regional variation that originated in Bologna and traditionally incorporates tomatoes, wine, milk, and finely minced meat simmered low and slow until deeply rich and complex. But some of the most beautiful ragù dishes in Italy contain little or no tomato at all. This version uses axis deer simply because that’s what I happened to have in the freezer, but this sauce works beautifully with almost any species of venison.
