Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44mm SHR-Mil Q&A

[atmat]

Yet when I asked Maven what makes the 1.2 different and more durable, I got the lame canned response… “all of our scopes are built to the same outstanding durability standards”.

Understand that marketing and customer service aren’t going to spill any beans.

The RS1.2 is not the same design as any other Maven.

I realize that a lot of this probably falls under trade secrets, but I can't help but be curious what's different. Ahh well.

Of course. I wouldn’t expect them to divulge trade secrets, but they shouldn’t be disingenuous either.

When I asked, they rattled off a number of features, but nothing about construction.

Probably the erector design. The old school single leaf spring-like design is likely not what they are using. I thought I read somewhere about a design where the inner tube was directly connected to the dial system vice being pushed against some form of spring(s). I too would like to know what is different from a curiosity standpoint. At least in broad terms.

Probably not anything top secret or complex. Nothing for Maven to buy a Tenmile or SWFA and take them apart, then ask LOW to build one like it. Maybe a few extra steps added, extra $50-$100 tops on the manufacturers cost. All parts available to use already, nothing custom. Wouldn’t be surprised if 3-18 Tenmile and RS1.2 shared some parts.

Is there a trick to getting the cap tops to unscrew to that the turrets can be zeroed? Maybe mine are just super tight? Thanks for any help.

I searched the thread and the results didn’t find any thing on this.

They are tight when new. Hold the very bottom of the knurled part and then twist the top 1/8” off, there is an o-ring and if cold it’s worse

I thought I was some sort of idiot. They are really tight and the pattern on mine lined up perfectly like it was one solid piece. The top section does come unscrewed from the rest of the turret it’s just really tight from factory.

I borrow it from the hospital great to have for cuts and minor stuff in the woods

Good to know you return it after you use it, because otherwise it wouldn’t be borrowing.

Anyone know if the Unknown Munition low rings will fit this optic with a carbon barrel? Thanks.

Anyone used maven customer support ? Says the Rs1.2 was delivered but it’s not here. Not sure if someone decided walk by and find themselves with a new scope or if post service dropped it off at different place but I’ve walked the street and asked around so now folks think I’m chasing my tail

Ugh. That sucks. I track all of my stuff, inbound and outbound, and would be wound pretty tight if that happened to me. That's one of the benefits to "proof of delivery" pics (when provided). I've had to figure out quite a few Uber Eats misdeliveries based on what "welcome" mats on the street look like.

Good luck in finding your scope.

My wife has an Etsy shop and she always gets calls saying it was delivered and they don't have it. She thinks the driver may scan the package when he loads the truck and it registers delivered. The packages usually show up the next day or so.

We get that for deliveries via USPS at my house every once in awhile as well

Yea I would email them now but not panic for 2 or so days.

Trying not to. But definitely isn’t a good feeling knowing a heavy investment in optics isn’t here.

Maven CS was fantastic for me. I emailed them with a question regarding the length of time between when I placed an order to when it was going to be shipped. A couple of weeks had passed. They replied promptly with an explanation, and when the order arrived, it included a gift card for my troubles and the several week delay.

They told me we both have to wait til 48 hours and then submit a missing form to USPS. But they were very friendly thus far via email.

It arrived this morning. Thanks guys.
