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

I run Lows, but could make Mediums work too.

I preferred lows when I had my tikka. Now, I can’t use low height rings on my hunting gun, it would be impossible to view the scope

Aaaand ... they're out of stock again. Longer run than last time, but still a business model that doesn't make sense to me. (It's not like in the run-up to Christmas that we might have other expenses competing for our funds ...)

They're expected back in a month or so.

Good to know. I used to be the bunny that contacted Maven and posted ETAs here, but got a bit burned by a combination of incorrect dates and incredibly small restock amounts ...

I must have gotten one of the last with the last shipment. I received it Monday.
Might be awhile before I order but definitely plan on 3 more unless something shinier comes along.

Update.

Scope #2 passed (well passed) 3,000 rounds.

Picked up a RS1.2 for my tikka and will be buying a pair of the UM rings and level when funds allow. From my readings, the medium UM rings seem to be the sweet spot for usability for most people. Any reason to buy the lows over the mediums? Anybody have the sight height available for that combo?

I tried lows per their chart and granted I had a Sendero profile carbon barrel at that time, it was tight. Then you add a suppressor and you get some pretty bad obstruction from the can at low mag. And then your mirage is that much worse. I swapped to medium and it solved the issue for me.

If you’re running a straight stock t3x with no suppressor I’d say the low is def the better option - especially if you run the factory stock.

Got mine setup and sighted in last Sunday.

Thanks to everyone involved in these reviews.

I have both now setup. There both great. Tenmile weighs a little less which is nice but the maven reticle is better for hunting generally. I don’t have an issue with the tree style reticle so I mostly use the tenmile. I don’t think you’ll go wrong with either.

Is the tenmile reticle that bad for hunting? Looking to buy my first FFP hunting scope. Thanks

I prefer the maven reticle. Was hard going back to tenmile once I got the maven so I sold the tenmile

Same experience as most. I enjoyed them both but the maven reticle was easier to keep coming back too.
