I did my rifle hunting with a Nightforce SHV 3-10x42 with the MOAR reticle. I shot two elk and one mule deer, at 480, 425, and 210. The mule deer was a mature buck and was dropped with one frontal shot at 10AM, the scope was everything I needed in that situation. The elk were both at first light, and in those situations I was left wanting for more magnification in the lower light situation. I also didn't enjoy uncapping the elevation turret to dial for the two 400+ yard shots - some may argue that dialing was unnecessary, but I wanted to dial.
I have a 300 win mag coming, and I had another SHV 3-10 ready to be mounted on it, but now I am leaning towards more magnification.
With the majority of 2020 rifle seasons in the rear view mirror I'd like to know how the optic you used on your 2020 rifle hunts performed and if you are satisfied, or if you're looking to make a change. In either case what were you using and why or why not are you satisfied?
Full disclosure, I am very intrigued by the Maven RS3 and its reported function, weight, mag range. What's out there about it is good, but there isn't much at this point, so I'll be particularly interested if you used an RS3.
