Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 new model

Physical interference is what you are saying?

Yes the aggressive knurling of the turret catching and always rubbing on the tight fitting cover I THINK was making it turn when the cover would get moved around either from setting my pack down or going through trees.

 

[35WhelenAI]

That is a good explanation. Yeah, not an issue with the scope per se but being aware of the full setup.

?

The nurling on Trijicon’s and NF’s are not remotely as sharp and grabby as the Maven. The Maven’s have the most sharp and aggressive checkering of any scope I have seen.

Those early xtr3 Burris turrets were like a cheese grater! You sample those?

 

[35WhelenAI]

How about turret that doesn't have aggressive knurling? Maven makes a good product,. What is the impedance to features that don't shoot a product in the bunghole. Simply pass a drop test that others can't, which they've done and you'll make gold as long as byproduct doesn't shoot you in the foot.

I have never had an elevation turret on a NF or Tenmile scope spin on me unintentionally. I have had the windage turret on my NXS move a few clicks after going in and out of a scabbard. It went in and out a few times before I noticed, so not sure exactly when it happened.

I haven’t spent a ton of time on horses, but every time I have a scabbard ends up dialing the scope a few clicks.

On the turret slip "issue", one sliver of electrical tape inside the turret tightened mine up to where I prefer it

Was going to order larger Orings, but don't think I will bother with those now

How the turret was when I pulled it out of the truck today-




Swapped the turrets between the Maven and the Trijicon Tenmile-




The Maven RS1.2 with the Tenmile turret takes at least twice the pressure dragging on things to spin it. The Tenmile with Maven turret catches about twice as easy on things as it does with its own turret.

The Trijicon Tenmile’s turrets take more force to spin then the Maven RS1.2, however just getting rid of the 20lpi checking on the Maven makes it significantly more resistant to spinning; and putting the Maven turret in the Trijicon makes it easier to spin from friction.

Sounds like a market for an aftermarket turret or st least grinding down the checkering.

Smaller ID on the Trijicon I suppose.
If it was a directly swappable part Id probably try to get one from Trijicon to put on the Maven

As it is, switching a 10MIL turret to be 8MILs is not in my skillset ha

Seems like a decent application for some tape…

Yes sir. That’s what happened. We’ll see if it stops it.

 

[GoatPackr]

Maybe find a way to chuck it up on a drill and hold a flat file against it to knock it down a little?

This is my plan.

I lent a friend my T3x 6.5CM with a 2.5-10 NXS on it this year for a late season deer and elk hunt off horses and he sent me this pic after riding into camp…

“Is this right?”

 

[GoatPackr]

The only thing I'm missing about my MK5HD is the turret locks and zero stop.
