Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 new model

[sndmn11]

I know the maven has passed the drop tests and is generally considered solid, but NF durable or acceptably durable to a lesser degree? Everyone have the same confidence in it as they would a NF?

I believe the most videos of drop testing on here belong to the RS1.2. @Dioni A has some on hard ground and I have some from shoulder height somewhere.

I don't think I could tell a person that any of my NF scopes are more durable than the RS1.2s I've tested with a straight face. I don't think I've got the balls to push things and find the breaking point of either. So, all other perceived shortcomings of the RS1.2, I don't believe "durability", in and of itself, to be one.

I swapped 3 NF to Mavens. No regerts and I’ve fallen on mine several times plus drops onto bare concrete.

Buy with confidence.

Good to hear, thanks. I already have the scope on a rifle and hunted with it a fair amount, just a whole other thing when considering swapping it to my primary rifle.

No- I do not see how any scope other than NF can claim that. The Maven RS1.2 is acceptably durable. They don’t fail in normal hard use.

The Maven RE1.2’s have went through a lot more than a drop “test”- personally I have 5-6 that have went through 2,000+ rounds, and 2 that went more than 3,000 rounds.

Thanks, about what I figured

I bent the elevation turret a very small amount nearly right out of the gate drop testing mine on really hard ground. It may have shifted a small amount when I bent the turret... Not sure. I later want to the bench and did a tracking and RTZ test. All good. It's subsequently shot probably nearly 1000 rounds, rough forest roads, etc and I haven't seen a zero shift that was from the scope. I think it's pretty solid

Those that wanted O rings, pm me your address and how many you need and I’ll send them to you. I’ve got about 22.
FYI verdict is still out on them. It’s definitely hard to spin, but kinda mushy now.

Anyone found a way to smooth off the knurling in a semi classy way?

A lathe

Anyone want to send me a couple of o rings? I can pay shipping.

I've got some heading my way. I shoot them to you at no cost

Awesome. I'll PM you. Thanks.

So just how big of an issue is this turret? Does it really spin that freely?

I've been wanting to try out the RS 1.2, but if it's something I need to tape, modify, etc, then I'll just spend my money elsewhere.

Part of my (slow, non-full time Special Forces full time pro hunter/killer elite 1%er) process when setting up for a shot is to twist the turret to confirm zero blind, then dial as needed.

I run trail cameras fairly often in awful brush and tons of miles in a soft case and have never noticed the turret being spun. Put a wrap of electrical or hockey tape on this and you’re golden. Or get a free oring. Six months ago this was a non issue and these were still one of the go to scopes. Now it’s a full on crisis

I sold my NX8’s to run these and don’t regret it one bit. Once the SHTF scope hits the market in a year these scopes will not be the smart buy at their current price. But I’m guessing you’ll see them used here for like $700 or less.

I'll buy a dozen at that price. I really like my RS1.2's.

Maybe I take for granted how much I diy, but seriously the effort of changing an Oring or placing a piece of electrical tape ranks up there in difficulty right next to putting scope caps on a scope. Or setting your zero

Mounting a scope is infinitely more challenging than this Oring swap

Having said that I agree they are not worth $1400
Good buy at $1000 though

Considering the price of the S2H scope I think Maven is over priced at 1k. If it had locking turret then I could see 1k.
The only thing I miss about my Leupold MK5HD was those turrets and their locks.

I changed the O ring on my Maven and am undecided on it. I need to spend a season sith it in the woods to get an honest opinion.

It's not a big deal if you shoot flat ranges and just carry the gun from safe to vehicle. It's a big deal when you're carrying it afield or strapping to to a pack, etc.

Yup, 10 second fix.

I agree, there are so many unmounted or unmarked barely used ones for sale for $1000-1050 I wouldn't mess with a new one.
