Any first hand experience with this scope? Just curious how good or bad it really is.

Thanks. I have read some unfavourable reviews on them. I’ll pass.
I'm using one on my CZ455 Super Match, and I love it. Narrow field of view at high magnification, but what do you expect from a 1" scope. Extremely clear glass, very fine reticle for precision shooting. exposed turrets with zero stop on elevation and zero set on windage work perfectly. Bought on sale at Tenda; could have got another make of scope for this application, with these features for maybe twice the money.
I also have a Riton Primal 1 on my 6.5 x 55 for a couple years; very clear also, zero issues; more basic reticle for range and ground hogs. 4 -16 X 44. Perfect for that application, and clear enough that before getting the Conquer 1 6-24x50, I used it to see my .22 target at 100 yards.

I was thinking of using it on my 222 for punching paper out to 300 or so yards and varminting. Price is very reasonable. I did confirm warranty is honoured here in Canada.
I own two, they're the most expensive scopes I have so my opinion isn't worth much. I have one on my MK2 and another I just got another on sale for my 17, 223 or 22-250. I haven't had any issues with function on my first one I've had for a year. I'm pretty careful with my stuff but it has been frozen and bumped around a bit with no issues. The magnification ring is stiff, my new one seems less stiff. The turrets have a good click, and a slight bit of play, about the thickness of the indicator line less than a mm.
On my 22 I've done lots of elevation adjusting and it tracks as it should, I get out to 250 yards with SV ammo using the full adjustment and reticle drop on a 0 MOA rail.
I have a few Bushnell AR and Engage up to 18X, compared to the Riton X1 on 18x the Riton is clearer. My Simmons ProTarget 6-24 doesn't come close on any attributes, but it was $120
For a 24x scope under $400 its an ok deal, at $240 its a steal, that why I bought the second one. The next closest in the market is an Arken or Bushnell Prime around $500.

So it should hold up ok on my 222? The glass isn’t going to fall out lol

I’m assuming the 1 Primal is comparable to the 1 Conquer?
Not quite as many features and 4-16 x 44. Simpler dot reticle focal plane, parallax adjustment, but covered turrets, but zero setable; good varmint scope IMO; the conquer is more suited to target, but had it been available at the price that Tenda is selling them at, I likely would have bought one for the 6.5 instead of the one that I did; but the Primal has proven it self more than adequate for the Job.
I'm happy with both.

Good to know. I would think the Primal could hold up ok on a 30/06? Just to give me more options.
I bought one after chatting with Meroh here. 
His experience was favourable so I thought I would try it also.
I had it on my 22lr one summer. It was great!
I have since moved it to my Howa 7.62x39. Approximately 500rds so far and works 100%.
At this point I am very happy with it and would buy again.

Riton. Cheap, 3rd party relabeled Chinese scopes.
For the same price or less, you can buy a similar powered scope of similar build on Alibaba Express. Go check out the video from backfire on YouTube. He deep dives into this very situation of Chinese made scopes relabeled and sold as more expensive type scopes when they're not.
