Two nights ago I dialed in my Maven RS1.2 with an 18 round zero.
The next day I took it out, it was perfect out to 925 yards.
Today, it seemed off…..now, I have this mounted on an R8 in a Blaser saddle mount. So I thought maybe the barrel wasn’t torqued down or something or the suppressor was loose. I took the saddle mount off the barrel and I dropped it about 8-10 inches into the hard ground, landing right on the top turret. I checked everything else on the rifle and it seemed fine.
I then put an SWFA 3-9 (also in a Blaser saddle mount) on there that had been rattling around in the back of my SUV inside a hard case for a couple months. That scope was dead nuts accurate. Even after all that neglect. Impressive.
So now I knew it wasn’t anything with the rifle. I popped the Maven back on and I was now 1.3 mils low. I couldn’t seem to get it to hold zero even after I corrected the turret twice. Each time switching back to the SWFA and the SWFA being exactly zeroed.
Has anyone had a Maven fail?
The scope isn’t slipping in the rings at all and the saddle mount feels sturdy when I tighten it. Any thoughts?
