Input the measurements and it whittles it down to one.

Does a throw lever for the RS1 not fit the RS1.2?

I may have missed it somewhere, but does anyone have a decent pic of their 2.5-15 with the illumination on? How bright is your center dot? I realize it’s not supposed to be “daylight bright” like a Razor 1-6, but the one I just received is barely visible on 10. I mean late evening, overcast sky, still barely visible. On anything below 9 it’s not visible at all. I put a new battery to check and it’s no different.
Sounds like an issue. Mine is plenty bright.

I posted photos of mine early on. I agree with others, sounds like you have an issue. Mine on 10 is almost too bright to use, on par with a red dot and definitely daylight bright.

Mine is the same, unusable in daylight. I just figured it’s like my Leupold Mk5, meant for high magnification at very low light.

The illuminated reticle is the only thing I don't like, but I don't like them on most scopes. It is something I infrequently turn on and frequently- always- leave on. So I use it once per battery. The odds are high, that when I need it, it won't work. I would rather they leave it off the scope OR put one on there that turns itself off.
I have several Holosun red/green dot sights that have shake awake, a solar panel, and auto shut off. They work and battery life is huge. These sights are under $250

I’ve killed hundreds of rabbits and squirrels with multiple of these scopes. Well past “legal” shooting light and have never needed the illumination. I don’t even have the battery in the scopes. A big game animal will 100% not need illumination to kill with these scopes.

That may certainly be, but sometimes I shoot at things other than big game. When I say it’s not visible, I don’t mean in bright sun- I mean still can barely tell it’s on at setting 10 looking into dark timber 30 minutes after sunset. I believe there is an issue. I’ll call Maven Monday.
Otherwise I do really like the scope.
Mounted and shot mine today for the first time. Super happy with it. 780 yards on 8x felt very comfortable.

I put a 3rd Maven RS1.2 into use over the last 45 or so days since my last big update in this thread. Been busy with work but have still had time for shooting days in the desert. It’s been hot, as expected, with a few days over 110 already this year.
The .260 in the Rokstock has another 600 rounds through it with zero issues.
The .223 has another 1,200 rounds through it with zero issues.
My .243 got a new scope (maven RS1.2) and a new 20” barrel in from Sako. 400 rounds in and haven’t touched it since it was zeroed.
In fact, none of these rifles and scopes have needed any kind of adjustment to the scope or rings or anything on the gun. They just keep on shooting and killing.
I’ll be using the Rokstock .260 this week in the cold bore challenge. All 3 rifles will head with me to Wyoming after the 4th of July for two weeks of scouting/shooting fun. Gonna be a nice break from the heat.

Figured this was worth posting about. I went out to shoot Friday morning and while loading my stuff to leave I set the rifle in the door jam while I loaded my other things off the tailgate. I’m sure you know where this is going…
It wasn’t overly windy but a strong gust came out of nowhere and slammed the door on the rifle. When it first happened I wasn’t quite sure what it was but as I rounded the bed of the truck it hit me. With all the positive postings about this model I had hope but if I’m not kidding myself I thought for sure it was for lack of better terms “compromised” and there’d be a shift.
I had already shot 5 to check zero, so I said to hell with it let’s see how far off it is. I shot 5 more and the group below tells the rest.
Just for clarification, there’s 5 pre- “doorslam” and 5 post slam test. I didn’t measure the group but it’s as good as any other this rifle typically shoots.
All that to say, this scope continues to impress and I think it may be the one that gets the nod this fall.

I bet that type of situation happens often at the trailhead when guys are getting ready to pack in for a few days. It’s the perfect example as to why having a durable scope is so necessary even if you never fall and always baby your rifle while you’re out hunting. It would suck driving across the country and on opening morning you have to check zero because you don’t have confidence in your scope.
