I suppose a person could use something to clean the turret really well then put a bead of silicone or caulk over the texture part.
I would recommend hockey tape over the checkering or sanding/filing down the points. Silicone isnt going to stay pit

Or…maven could just fix it? It’s a design flaw.

I offered a cheap / fast option to agressive checkering. Didn't suggest anything else

If you think Maven should take your scope back or manufacture new turrets and ship them out for free to "fix" this "flaw", by all means email them

Anyone know a trick on how to "loosen" the Paralax knob just a bit on this scope? Tight is good, but these are almost ridiculous. I have 3 scopes and they are very difficult to adjust. Wondering if there is anything to do.

Just keep working it. They do loosen up over time.

If I’m being honest though, leave it on 200 and shoot away. It hasn’t affected me shooting from 30 yards to well past 1,000 yards just leaving it alone at 200.

I've only got about 600 rounds on my rs1.2 but have had the turret spin multiple times coming out of a case or riding on a backpack. When I went to shoot my elk last year, I went to dial and the turret was already spun, probably just from coming off the pack. Had it been a quick shot without dialing I would have hit high or missed. In thousands of shots on 2x SWFA 3-9s this hasn't happened ever.

I'll probably try the tape under the cap method first or see what others come up with. This rifle/scope will get a lot of use in the next couple months.

I also dont think the flaw is the turrets as much as it is the ease of spinning said turrets. My recommendation to them in the email was to leave the turrets how they are and make it harder to spin them.
