Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 new model

[WKR]

Thanks - I'm really just interested in the construction and durability ... so the lens caps and details of the hinges and attachment points would be amazing. Thanks again!

Just a quick review, the ocular lens cover is easier to open and feels like it has less play than the objective cover. The objective has some wiggle in the hinge side to side, and is required a little more force to flip open. I think that flip open stiffness will likely go away with use.

As far as impact resistance, the material they are made from is tough and would likely save the glass from a fall or drop damage.

I will likely remove the illum knob and just run the parallax knob. I will also trim and file down the throw lever to have a smaller footprint.

I’m in the camp that doesn’t like my Aadmount caps. Too bulky, too loud, ocular button too big and high cost. I want to like them because they are robust but I don’t. Back to Butler Creek or simple cheap neoprene covers for me.

I feel the same.

If anyone one doesn't like them and wants to unload a set let me know.

I didnt need this today

I gotta tap out on this inventory round, I just bought a tikka 243 LH 1:8 twist to replace the 1:10 I sent to Kampfwld to Bush down to 223. Rokslide is going to lead to divorce at this rate.

Love this scope. I used the illumination this morning and really enjoyed it.

Can you see the illuminated dot at the low powers? I can only see mine at at or near full power.

After sunset the lowest setting is bright and still splashes the reticle.

It was 5 minutes after shooting light n the morning. I believe I used it on 3 or 4?

Hmm. I will try it again in a dark room. When at high power it does splash the reticle, but I’m fine with that.

Not sure if it’s my elevation turret loosening up with use on a couple of these, but I’ve noticed that every so often my scopes have been “dialing themselves” a couple clicks or so.

Last week I missed a coyote clean over his back at 340 yards using the reticle as hold over on my .243. Not to sound like an arrogant ass but that’s not a shot I miss often… Turns out the elevation turret had spun 3 or 4 clicks up on its own riding in the backseat of my jeep.

This happened on one of my 223s as well. I’m a bit frustrated with the lack of having to push or pull the knob in order to dial it.

Have any of you tried some tape that would hold it in place but not stop you from dialing, just with a bit more force?

Fatter Oring should help. Or some dielectric grease

I’ve said this before but nobody seems to care about any miss unless it’s from being dropped. I missed a nontypical giant buck due to a spun turret. A chip shot with a rest. One of the reasons (many) that I love my vortex LHT. I don’t understand why every scope doesn’t have a locking elevation turret and capped windage turret.

Rokslide favorite needing tape, fatter o-ring, dielectric grease, bubblegum and bailing wire. Not confidence inspiring.

Above post was edited a tad. Don't want to discount something that can pass a drop test yet turret spins unbeknownst to the user.

Yep, but you can drop it. (And I have one)

 

[35WhelenAI]

True on that. It can be dropped.

If it makes you feel better, I’ve had VX6’s and Mark 5’s with the push button zero lock, and had those still unlock while carrying them and have them click several times before I saw it.

I think the “lift turret to dial” is the best system for sure.
