Maven CRS 3 Newest New model.

[WoolyBugger]

Got a rough zero in on the scope today, it was also the first 10 shots through the gun. On the scope, like sndmn11 said, everything adjusted as you would expect. Running the barrel break in process according to the bergara manual. I didn’t take an exact measurement but the last 4 shots were slightly less than moa using PSA’s house brand ammo hpbt. Not bad for $1/rd 6.5cm

Going to stretch the legs on the scope and gun here in a couple weeks after some more bow hunting gets done.

How is the clarity compared to the rs models?

It's great, I don't think I could tell the difference.

That’s awesome. I think I’d like to try one out on my 22-250 for coyotes.

Here's what I saw with the drop tests. It should be self explanatory with the notes on the paper.

As I said before, this is with the new Warnes Hyperlite rings. I have stripped out multiple sets of the 34mm variety. I also didn't make any witness marks on the ring scope juncture; I'm 60/40 on the side that the rings slipped. This is my initial guess because there was shift, but then the last shots didn't shift. So, maybe they found a happy spot to bite down or something.

What's the plan for testing if the rings slipped? You have other rings you're going to try?

Just in case you guys need a preview of how good this scope is

Good god that was the most wandering useless review. Spoomer: I don't know if this ammo is for this rifle... I don't know how you adjust this scope... tapping on turrets with pocket knife.... what was that LOL

Any update on this @sndmn11 ?

It should be Sunday. I pulled a nightforce out of the TPS rings I like and put this scope in it. If my planning works, I will get this, SWFA10xg2, RS6 all tested.

Bore sight then a few adjustments the wrong way

Thanks. I appreciate your sharing!

For the critics

 

[jamesmc8]

Nice! From the video above and from the target photo earlier it looks like it held zero? What is your final or still prelim verdict on the scope?

 

[jamesmc8]

Any chance you could share a photo of the turret spindle under the cap? Wondering if there is a way one could rig a zero stop? That is the only thing really holding me back on this scope.

I'll try one for plinking/varmints and mostly to see whats up because I like to know. Until I bounce one around for awhile, shoot it on a LW 300 WM that has puked several scopes, and dial on it a pile, I don't see using/recomending one for big game rifles. Partly because it's much more X than I want for big game and partly because there's other, more proven options in that price range.

Not thrilled about it not being made by LOW Japan, but I understand hitting price points, and I have recently spent time with a couple of Philipines scopes and a S Korea scope that all did well so far with dialing and knocking around, so I'll withhold my bias and acknowledge that there's possibly decent stuff coming out of those places these days.

Beats me. I don't want to make a verdict about it or other scopes. It is information for others folks to look at and think through as they please. That's why the video is there, that's why the goof ups with POI adjustment are shown, and it is as transparent as possible.

The best thing that could occur is for someone to buy one and send it to @Formidilosus and I continue to play with this one. It's expensive and pretty time consuming for me, which makes it not a top priority. I also don't want anyone thinking my efforts are anything more than information.
