Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 new model

[Marshfly]

That would be the perfect hunting scope for me. Maybe one day.

Perfect for almost everyone if they are honest with themselves. FFP aside.

Because its reliability is known, or another reason?

It’s reliable and proven to an extent that this maven is a decade away from. The atacr is a very well known commodity
The small 4-16x42 is really hard to kill.
The Maven on paper is superior in most other areas
Reticle, weight, ring size etc.

It also doesn't need silly 34mm rings, allows a lower cheek weld and doesn't weigh 32 ( I think?) ounces

Cheek weld is 1mm higher and is indiscernible

30 ounces for the 42mm atacr

Plus the compact and locking turret of the atacr is a huge advantage to me. I wish leupold wasn't such a piece of crap and didn't "lock" everyone out from using that turret design.

But comparing this $1200 maven to a $2500 nf doesn't make a ton of sense does it.

Fwiw- I shot 180 ish rounds with the maven yestrrday It is a fabulous optic. Checks every box

I did a version of the drop test but the ground was so soft I dont feel like it was apples-apples. It was so soft it wasn’t bouncing but just a very dull thud
The 3x36 drops on the illumination broke the illumination but the bullets went where they were supposed to. It rode 50 ish miles in a sxs and 120 in the bed of my truck (decked drawer) on forest roads/ blm desert roads. Maintained zero
Also on the drop test it got a few drops closer to 40” since my buddy is significantly taller than me and a poor judge of height

Will do another drop test on harder ground next weekend

I agree, cheek weld is a non starter. Especially with the amount of rings available and adjustability of stocks.

Locking turrets are nice but I haven’t had the unlocked turrets on nxs or ten miles move. The maven is low enough I don’t think it would be an issue

Agree to disagree

Broke the cap off, or it no longer illuminates?

Good catch
No longer illuminates
One of my guys at work is going to try and troubleshoot it. Looks like a solder busted

Swap it out, then test the new one. 2x data points on one purchase.

That jacket would look good with half of the first 100 Rokstoks.

Can we get maven to make a 2-10x40ish dialing FFP that’s 18-20 ounces since no one else will?

Probably, but only if folks buy this model. I think there's a lot better ways to cut 7oz.

Why not do both and cut almost a pound?

I wouldn’t move from the Trijicon to this simply because that scope is already more weight than I want.

Not everyone wants a super light rifle. I want my gun to finish between 9-10 pounds with scope Atlas bipod and bullets

Scope weight and elsewhere.

Yuck. 8# max for carrying in the mountains. But I get that people want heavier stuff I guess.
