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

[Jimbee]

This is going to be my first RS1.2 so no experience with it on my Tikka yet, but interesting to hear that. I was going to try the UM Low Tikka rings but now you have me thinking I may need to go with Medium. That said, my Tikka's a T3, not a T3x, so it has the smaller ejection port. Not sure if that means less of a problem because the port's not as open across the top? Which model are you running?

The first was a t3x (6/7prc), second was/is a t3x (6GT). Moved the scope back the tiny bump I was able, didn't help. I thought something was wrong with my extractor or ejector until I just took the windage cap off and brass was flying like it should. I tried sanding the knurling off the knob and that didn't help. Until my higher rings arrive the windage turret with be wrapped with electrical tape.

Lows are taller than the TO84
I have 2 t3x/ um lows and RS1.2 and no brass windage issues (6 PRC AND 6um) so both short fat cartridges on a long action bolt stop

Anyone else using SM T084 rings having issues with brass hitting windage turret? Both tikkas that I've had the RS1.2 on the brass hit the turret and kept bouncing brass back in and causing problems. Going to try the higher SM T074.

I have two rs1.2s on 6.5 tikkas with to 84s and no issues with rokstock and OEM stock. Mine are mounted pretty forward though

Pic for reference. They are mounted identically @Jimbee

I'm hoping they do another gift card sale.

I actually may sell the one I just got that delivers tomorrow. I don’t have a rifle for it yet… I need to build one first, and am leaning towards a lightweight build where this scope may not be the best fit.

Updated Scope #1.

Anyone got theirs mounted in NF Ultralight rings? Maven says to follow ring manufacturers recommendations on torque spec, NF says don’t exceed 25 inch pounds on ring caps. I just mounted mine at 22, anyone with this combo care to chime in?

I mounted mine with 25 in pounds. If it screws the scope up, then I don't want it.

Yes and I torqued them to 22 in/lb as well.

25 or bust. If the scope can’t handle that, time for a new scope.

Maven also says in the manual not to exceed 18 in/lbs.

I have mine mounted in NF ULs at 18 in/lbs.

This has been covered extensively by other people, but - the scope does not know the torque you’re applying to the cap screws. It only knows the clamp force it’s experiencing. Screw pitch has a big impact on torque to clamp force ratio.

Okay...

 

[rbutcher1234]

Mine are all in NF UL rings. 25 in/lbs, paint pen screws, nail polish on outside. No issues at all.

Full send in Leupold BackCountry rings at 28 in lbs.
