Maven .6 LPVO Newest Newer New Model

[sndmn11]

It looks like one is put for delivery to me today. Same story as the last scope, I need to order rings; didn't yet because I am unsure if I need them to be higher due to tube size.

 

[Formidilosus]

What do you think of this Rs.6? Do you want to try it/ drop one?

I would for sure be willing to do an eval on one.

I got warne mountain tech lows and nf ul 1.125"

I think the mountain techs should work. My only potential concern with not ordering was if the eyepiece side of the scope was significantly fatter and might need a higher ring to clear the back edge of my rails.

I should know tonight and will hit you up to borrow IF I decide to go shoot it this weekend instead of tie up a bull for third season.

That's fine just text me

I almost took advantage of the sweet military discount one of their other lines until I was told to check out your scope evals. Now I’m very much hesitant.

You need some rings?

I'll snag @IrkedCitizen for now, he lives in my hood.

Sending this off for a scope evaluation, hopefully Form is easy on it because I really like it so far!

Do you think it's pretty rolly ball when on zero mag?

I cant remember if the other 1-xX scopes I used before are like that or not.

At 1x I don’t feel it’s very forgiving and at 10 power at 100 it’s not near as clear as 6-8 but for my main use of coyote hunting between 2-8 power I think I will like it

Yeah, that's kind of my take away as well, BUT I haven't mounted it yet either. Just pirate style.

I zeroed mine today and ran a simple tracking test. All went good.

Mine is 24oz, did you weigh yours?

23 something. I think it’s because the battery and the throw lever, their spec is probably without both

Used the maven rs.6 a little more today, above about 7 power for me it is not very clear, reset the diopter several times and it doesn’t seem to help. Shooting at 100 yds I feel it has a lot of parallax movement. The reticle also seems to almost disappear in sagebrush terrain. The more I use it the less I like it. The turret and locking feature is awesome along with the throw lever but that’s about it. Might have to move this one along.

Stumbled upon this today, was excited until I saw the price tag. Oof. I think I can live without the 10x and will get an NX8 for an lvpo given the minimal additional fee and reduced weight.
