Maven CRS 3 Newest New model.

[kad11]

Here's what will happen

-do testing
-self evaluate for flaws
-re-test
-same results = post
-500 people on here who won't test their own stuff complain and nit-pick ---> "your rings suck" "your gun sucks" "your ammo sucks" "your mat isn't official" (in the case of Maven it will also be "they lied" regardless if it passes or not)
-same 500 people end up saying "can't wait for an official @Formidilosus drop test"
-same 500 people then complain about weight of scope, no zero stop, and then try to dream up a magic scope again

It'll get done, but it's quite a bit down on the priority list behind elk/deer spotting/carrying, and perpetual brown puppy bird stuff.

We promise not to whine or nit-pick...

I get that. I'm just excited to see something so close to the rs1.2 that is $500 cheaper and potentially reliable and want to see if there's any hint of reliability. It's generally pretty easy to see when something obviously fails the drop test

That's why being on the T1x is a good start for me, I did the same thing with the rs1.2s. I can fiddle with a higher volume at a quicker pace initially, before moving it over to the center-fire and 20X my cost per trigger press.

I have rs3.2 to test as well. Unfortunately, the rings I've had success with in the past are no longer made, which is why I am trying these Warnes. If either fail, then I need to proof the rifle in the same visit. In the case of the CRS3 mounted in these new rings, that means the new Warnes need proofed as well. So, it could be going through rs3.2 in old rinhs, crs3 in new rings, SHV in new rings, SHV in old rings. 10 shot groups, adjustment, plus testing is a bit of time/ammo/focus investment for it to be done as right as possible.

What would you use this scope for? I haven't talked to anyone at Maven about "who" they had in mind when coming out with it. I'm curious what the people who might buy it, have in mind when doing so.

Those are all good plans.

I'd just use it as a general hunting scope, the same as the rs1.2 I have. The appeal is that it is cheaper. I don't care that it has no zero stop (still haven't set mine on my rs1.2) or windage cap. Those two "features" have never been a buy or pass consideration for me. The few things I care about are: reliability/function, reticle, weight.

The illumination and 20x mag are detractors, but if the reliability and function are there, I'd likely be in on one.

Same here. Just looking for a reliable offering with that reticle for the price point. I'd likely never turn that mag ring above 10x...

That’s fair. I honestly just wanted to make everyone uncomfortable by using the word “daddy”

Either way, I’ll be anxiously watching how this turns out whether you drop it or not. The scope checks lots of boxes and seems an incredible value assuming it works as designed. I have one in my cart right now, just deciding whether to pick this up first or pick up a 223 bolt gun trainer first…

I'm in the same boat. I need another scope for my backup gun/223 I don't have yet. But also need to buy a 223. Also want 2 rokstoks, another suppressor, and potentially a better pair of RRlF binos. So.... Damn. Tough decisions. I think the scope is probably #1 priority since my only scope other than a single rs1.2 is a swfa UL 2.5-10

Haha the list is never ending. I’ve got 3 extra SWFA’s with no rifle to go on and here I am, lusting after a new scope, knowing full well I should buy the 223 sooner rather than later.

But of course, that’s the WKR way of life. Let’s just buy both.

I'd offer to buy a swfa from you, but I'd rather not since if I broke it I'd likely never see a replacement using their warranty!

2025 resolution is to quit rokslide. Or maybe I'll try to ween myself off. Or just rokslide in moderation. F it. I'm staying

Well I am looking for a scope that’s actually available, has a better viewing experience then swfa, and at least on the high end of reliability.
For plinking, varmint, truck, practice rifles. Where it’s just so hard for me to spend much money on as they just wouldn’t ever really be a big game weapon to me. Other than maybe a short truck gun.
What I really want is a more affordable LPVO with these attributes.

The swfa 6x was ok, but the super tall turrets just didn’t do it for me, and the chop just isn’t my style. Extreme ocd.

I just can’t justify shv f1 on these non primary rifles.

... I have one in my cart right now

They have it as DADDY, all caps. I did mention to 3 mods my preference for my pink hat title since it's pink hat season.

I'd buy a 6swfa for the kid's rifle when you or @BRTreedogs move them.

Same here. Just looking for a reliable offering with that reticle for the price point.

I think that's a long the lines of my train of thought. I'd buy this for the reticle and to go on a training rifle if I already has an RSx with this reticle. @HighUintas and yourself seem to be on the same page. I am 99% certain that it will dial, and when I mounted it yesterday I didn't notice anything weird with the view when setting the eye relief. Playing the odds with all the rifle scopes in the world, I don't have a clue if it will pass drop testing.

They sent me these earlier in the month, but I didn't share them since it seemed folks were find better discounts in other ways.

I had time to zero the T1x and the scope adjusted predictably based on measuring with the reticle.

How’s the eyebox and eye relief? Forgiving? Your pic of it mounted on the T1X make it look like it’s mounted waaaaaay back.

How tight did you torque the rings and did you use loctite/nail polish/paint pen? Nothing weird?

I don't know these rings, so I did the instructed (28inlbs?) for the two cross bolts, the caps said 18 and so did the scope, but I did 22inlb. I use the borka torque "wrench".

No loctite for now. I figured that if a scope doesn't pass it would be best to proof the exact same rings/rifle and loctite would be an addl variable. Orange loctite will happen once I get a little trust in the rings; cerakote seems counterintuitive, but they are less expensive than the mountain techs. I'd really like to do the area419 rings, but they are a couple hundred bucks.



I do set the eye relief with a pic gap open ahead and behind, and with the scope to have ~1/4 eye relief available if my head slides forward and 3/4 available if it slides back.

That gives wiggle room for clothing, and seems to work ok whether on @KickinNDishin 's guns, mine, or the kid's. The turrets are back a bit on the scope

I didn’t realize it, but I can see that now. The distance from mag ring to turret saddle is definitely shorter than turret saddle to objective bell. Makes sense.

I’m sure the 22LR length action also exacerbates this, and a full length pic rail or something on a full size cartridge will make this less of a thing.

this, and a full length pic rail or something on a full size cartridge will make this less of a thing.

I'm 90% certain that rail is a slot loner than the short action vanguard/Howa rails the other two peeps have.

@wind gypsy and @Ucsdryder can have a gander through it this weekend too. I have the rs3.2 with me I'm case I have time to stop after hunting to test. There was a lot of folks at the CPW range on the way up.

Anyone else get one of these in and play around with it? Just ordered one

Also curious what others have to say, do you have plans for doing any sort of drop tests?

I'd get one if I had the money at the moment. I'm in need of a scope. Later this year or early next year I will be debating between this one and a rs1.2

Sorry to disappoint but I have no plans of dropping it

Got mine mounted up last night, hopefully running out this week sometime to zero.
