Yeah buddy!Appreciate the info. I’m pretty content with my Blaser contingent:

I was switching out to all S&B’s from the last of the Leupolds. Figured the Encore would be a better test platform…
The only way you will know is to buy one and test it. I used one for the cold bore challenge this year and will hunt with a different one if I can turn up a tag.Does anyone know if the 3.2 5-30 is mechanically the same? I don't see a lot of discussion on that particular optic. I realize the mag range isn't in the Rokslide agenda but it's still lighter than a Nightforce and has a better reticle.

Not at all; I think I made the shots I took, but can't remember. I am saying I have two.So… you’re saying the one you used was no bueno?

I don't think so. the 1.2 looks very similar to the Trijicon tenmiles which also passed the drop test with the parallax/ illumination dial and zero stop featues looking almost identical. It's almost like with the rs1.2 maven said to low build us a maven version of Trijicon tenmile. The other mavens inlcuding original rs1 don't share these same characteristics. 3.2 the parallax dial is way differentDoes anyone know if the 3.2 5-30 is mechanically the same?

Good to know. Thanks Ryan.It doesn’t hold zero like the 1.2.

Only negative I see is it's $300 dollars more.I don't understand why people are so dead-set on this scope. Sure, it holds zero and has the "best" ffp reticle currently available but the Trijicon Tenmile is totally functional with only a slightly inferior reticle, and it's available.

Because the Tenmile is 25% more money (at current prices) and with a worse reticle.I don't understand why people are so dead-set on this scope.

Have you shot with a tenmile? I have quite a bit and I do not find the tree to be distracting. I find it helpful for zeroing with the 0.2 mil increments, but when dialing and shooting I hardly notice it.Is there an alternative to the “precision tree” reticle? To my eye that looks terrible, but I much prefer simple reticles.
Availability and durability would seem to win out vs cost based on past discussion on the topic. Prior to the $1200 Maven people were willing to spend $2k+ for NF and Minox scopes that had passed drop tests, so I don't see the $300 price difference as a barrier. I am not trying to be casual about people's budgets, it just didn't seem like a barrier in the past to get a drop-proof scope.Because the Tenmile is 25% more money (at current prices) and with a worse reticle.
I’d absolutely use one, but I prefer my RS1.2’s
Maybe my eyes suck but the tenmile reticle is not visible enough to me at low power in the field. The maven is significantly better in that regard. I have killed enough things up close, in timber, at last light etc to not be willing to compromise that aspect of a scope.Have you shot with a tenmile?

The reticle inferiority is overblown IMO. Does the tenmile look like a duplex at 3x? No, but it is still completely visible and certainly draws your eye to the center at minimum magnification.
