Maven CRS 3 Newest New model.

Thanks for that video together @sndmn11 ! I’ve put around 75 rounds through mine out to 450, I have it on a rifle Im taking on a doe hunt in January and plan shooting some NRL hunter with. I’m super happy with it so far.

Has anyone else been using this scope? I’ve had it on my gun since November and but only 150 rounds through it. It has held zero for me so far while riding in my car for a thousand or so miles and on a week of hunting. Have checked zero a few times throughout however no drop tests. Shot a couple whitetail does with it @ 200 and 313 yds. No zero stop is a downside but given the price I figured that was maybe a money saver. Glass is good enough but never find myself cranking up the mag. If someone wants to take me up on my classified ad for trading a Winston fly rod for a NF shv or maven 1.2, I’d send this for a formal test if they’re willing. Need a scope for NRL in 2 months

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.

For some reason seeing this makes me want to watch Big Jake.

“If you ever call me Daddy again, I’ll finish this fight”…..

Agreed I’d love to hear a bit more feedback here. Seems like a good budget option for your local poor college students. Especially those of us catching strays in the UM suppressor forum for having Christensens topped with vortex optics

Well, I’m not a poor college student anymore but I do have kids now and the high cost of eggs dictated the glass I could afford… actually what happened was the Maven 1.2 was out of stock and I had a maven coupon so this is what I ended up with. I’m happy to provide any feedback I can. Took it out to 1000 yards today and added another 75 rounds to the count. Unfortunately, I cannot comment on zero retention today as I swapped rings from some warnes to area 419s between the last time I shot and today, other than the elevation stayed the same between the two rings.

Oh yeah I can understand the zero retention question. Had a buddy borrow my rifle this year and we put his old school Burris on it and got it shooting perfect. I then swapped him my new rifle for that rifle while we were out hunting with his girlfriend so she could shoot a lighter recoiling gun. That led to me airmailing a doe twice at 200 which really hurt my feelers. Appreciate you bringing this up and keeping us updated about the scope. I mean I’ve had nothing but good experiences with the vortex that’s on my rifle but it’s got no turrets so I am going to get a turret scope eventually and move that scope to my 7mm.

Yep, that’s enough to frustrate a guy. As long as everything holds up and you can get along without a zero stop, this would serve as a good budget option. I’ll post if anything changes. I’ll be shooting nrl and prs with it this summer or until I can prove it doesn’t hold zero.
