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

[Sadler]

Has anyone found out if the Leupold alumina lens caps work with the RS 1.2?

Has anyone found out if the Leupold alumina lens caps work with the RS 1.2?

I was told Friday that the objective thread is M49x0.6, which is an extremely odd size. I’m waiting on a follow up from Maven, but if it is not actually M49x0.5 or M49x0.75 then we stand no chance of any cross brand stuff fitting. I’ve also reached out to Tenebraex but have not heard yet. If we can find one or two matches it will be much easier to find something. Swaro and Meopta list their objective thread size in specs, wish others did.

if you spent all your fun money on rokstocks and mavens is there another option for scope caps that guys are using that aren't 100$ for a pair?

I only use Tenebraex or Aadmount, but if you're in the Form camp of not using caps, then the Stone Glacier or Maven scope covers work okay.

Tenebraex are more pliable and easier to open and shut, but (ironically) 'feel' flimsy, although this might be more a function of them being pliable. I've had one break that Armament never bothered to get back to me about.

Aadmount 'feel' cheap in that they're printed, but they're stiffer. I've also had one occular latch stop working.

I think I have a lens shade for the mark 5 in my truck. When I get a chance I’ll go grab it to see if they are compatible. I didn’t even think about that before I posted

Ooh yeah let us know

 

[Sadler]

Yeah it’s a no go. Different thread pitch

Size seem correct thread pitch just different?

 

[Sadler]

Size seem correct thread pitch just different?

Yeah. Just a touch different

 

[ChrisAU]

Yeah. Just a touch different

Dang.

Good idea though, I just tried a sunshade for a Viper PST 2.5-10x44 and it was too small.

I have never had any issues with butler creek caps. Some people say they're junk and break in a few weeks but I don't throw my rifles on and under tools and drive rough roads that way so I've never broken one. I think they work pretty well considering they're really inexpensive

Do you know what sizes for the butler creek?

 

[HighUintas]

Do you know what sizes for the butler creek?

Size 19 and 33. I can't remember which one, but one of them is a really tight fit but it works

ty i know if you heat them up in hot water you can get them to stretch a little bit

BTW, SHR-MIL reticle is back in stock on Maven!

Lasted ~10 mins.. I got one Thanks

Yup, got mine, posted here 30seconds later, checked not even 30min later and .... gone already. Pretty crazy. They really should be paying form for this

Negative. That would create the potential for bias.

I am glad they *are not* and thus I can take the advice at face value. But at the same time, there should be real compensation for the amount of effort he's putting into this. Not just the original testing but also for spreading the word.

The real system would be something like all big manufacturers pitch in 5k each to a form fund, he tests all the scopes and gives his ranking. With all having paid up front and all having paid the same, there's no reason for bias

Yep, that's the third time they've done this. I saw the heads up, and in the time it took to transfer funds from one account to the one I'd use to order, they were gone. It's getting kinda silly.

Or they could all test their own scopes, and stop selling the ones that don't work!
