I just find it pretty underwhelming for the price point. I don’t need the 32x. Something like a 5-25 would made it a lot better I think. The eye box isn’t the best but if you don’t chase the top end it’s useable. I wish it was more forgiving for multiple people usage in field conditions. I feel...
Now that the drama is over… sorry. I do. How does the overall fit and finish look/feel. #1 reliability is at the top with a few things behind it. But… I have an atacr, nx8’s, gen3 rzr, a lot of mark5’s, couple athlons and have had others. I bought 2 maven rs3.2’s awhile back. Have yet to mount...
All good. Glad we could hash this out in a normal adult fashion. I have multiple rifles that would love a reliable scope like your wanting. I guess I also took it being under the “long range hunting” portion a little to serious. Now a days I tend to build my rifles in the 8.5-10 lbs range and...
I’m not that awesome, I just hunt hard and difficult country and am fortunate to be able to dedicate the time as well. You asked I answered. So you’re a guide, and a competitive shooter. I guess I’m not the only awesome one… from talking to my friends who are guides, they see a lot of people who...
All good, just kinda pissed me off when a couple people were making accusations that were far from the truth because I made one short post saying I wished it woulda went to 24 on the top end and covered everyone’s wants. And get that but this new maven is still 26.5 oz and not super small...
Well I replied to a post by you that said something like - be honest, how often do I kill things in steep broken country, and something like base on your description probably not many or at all.
How should someone take that?
Because I like well tuned nice rifles and a scope that goes above...
Ok. Sure. There’s sorta some options but not really. I simply said I wish they woulda made it a little higher mag then all of the sudden people are jumping down my throat. If I don’t jump on some band wagon I’m not a real western mtn hunter blah blah blah. Just ridiculous. I can pretty much...
Well I am a western mtn hunter. Hunt harder country and deeper then most. I see others with similar setups and wants. So idk how I’m like no one else? This thread is under the long range hunting area. I’m not talking pickup hunting with 15lbs rifles. I’m running custom setups, carbon stocks or...
The 2.5-20 doesn’t work on my long actions, and the 4-32 has issues. Everyone knows this. I own some. They never should have went 4-32. It’s just doesn’t work like it should
Shooting animals at 2k. Nope. But regularly shoot all my rifles between 1200-1800. And obviously closer. Animals I try to limit 1k in perfect conditions. Personal reasons. Infact I really try to keep it under 700. My rifles and us are very capable just weird things happen the farther you...
Well I hunt eastern Oregon the majority of the time as well as Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and others when the opportunity is there. I would consider myself a “long range” shooter and hunter. I guess. Majority of our shot are 600-1k but every year something gets shot from 100-300. I also shoot a ton...
I don’t know about that. You maybe not and maybe not the majority of people who are on this thread… but not sure if that qualifies as most. There’s multiple fine options in this size, weight, mag range. Like the trijicon. There’s not really any good options in the 4-24/5-25 range. Who needs 2.5...
No worries. I understand. Really curious as to what it’s going to look like etc. I’ve been building myself customs off 700 clones for a long time but have a few rifles that were pre this hobby. I’ve considered selling them as they are just dust collectors but if there was a possibility to turn...
I bet they have dropped more than you think. Not solely on the RS/form testing but combine this with all the forums etc. everyone wanted the mark5 to be the shit. It’s so close…. Yes I’m one guy but I know there’s more out there like me. I own 6 mark5’s. I was an early adopter before there was a...
