You mean New Ultra Light Arms it? Meaning go crazy with the sandpaper ?

Pretty sure he means full-length bedding it.

Bingo. Je suis curious.

Not required. It's already sanded down to just past my 3B stocks, zero issues now.

Can't move if it's glued in!

I was thinking of the polar opposite lol.

It won't move off the recoil lug when paint penned in, properly seated on the lug, and torqued to 65" lbs. You can drop it from 4 feet onto rocks apparently, and it still won't move.

You might just slightly bend a windage turret though...



Hit hard enough that the windage turret knurling tore through the scope cover...







0.4 MIL shift to the left caused by a slightly bent turret (which I didn't know about until I checked yesterday at one of my shooting spots). I re-zeroed after the drop in Alaska, bounced it around in a Tacoma TRD off-road laying on the backseat, hand carried and busted brush with it, used the hollow carbon rokstok as a moose paddle (works excellent), killed a moose, bumped around in the Tacoma on the way back, REALLY bumped around in my buddies ATV helping me haul the meat to his cabin, flew on an airplane back to AZ, road in the back of my wife's truck in a pelican case, and confirmed zero yesterday. Still good to go, no glue required

Show off...

Are you going to warranty the scope? Or do you think they they will just say you were "Trying to do that stupid drop test on concrete" like they said on the podcast last year? To be honest, if I had seen the podcast before I bought my scope, I wouldn't have purchased it just based on their arrogance and dismissive stance toward people who actually want a scope that works.

No, sir.

Pride and arrogance are a heck of a thing, unfortunately.

I will not be dealing any further with Maven and won't be buying anymore of these scopes after talking with them. My RS1.2's will be slowly replaced by whatever scope Ryan and Form might be able to have developed in the future. If Maven suddenly changes face and is willing to listen and build to Form/Ryan specs, then they will continue to have a customer.

I wish the 2.5-15X44 Credo hadn't gone up in price. As is, I would have saved 300 bucks and had 2 matching scopes that work. I'm not hooked on FFP yet either.

Did I miss some of the story?

Did I miss some of the story?

I finally listened to that snippet from a podcast where the ownership group basically dismisses the fact that the RS1.2 is their number one selling optic, more than all the others combined, and it having anything to do with the tests here on Rokslide.

I talked to one of them, optics manufacturer to optics manufacturer, and they currently seem to have minimal to zero interest in having a scope made that actually works moving forward (other than the RS1.2). Hopefully for them that changes soon.

 

[Antares]

Did I miss some of the story?

Yeah, same question here.

I'm very happy with my current stable of 3 NXS 2.5-10s, but always curious to hear about peoples experiences with other brands.

 

[omicron1792]

I don’t understand how that’s possible?

Sounds like bias against us southern boys

Ah. Gotcha. Now I blame you for having purchased mine!

I had listened to the same podcast and had the same reaction to their odd statements and disdain. But I figured they had gotten religion and/or the 1.2 is so amazing it was worth overlooking. Both would be great, but the latter is enough to keep mine. Until something better comes along.

I’ll be keeping and using mine as well for now. They flat out work and have a bad ass reticle.

 

[HighUintas]

If I were an optics business owner, I likely wouldn't design/sell a scope at the whim of a bunch of fickle bitches on the Internet. Roksliders change their gear as often as their underwear.

However, I wish one of those companies would give us satisfaction!!!!

 

[Bluumoon]

Was told I’d have to send stock back to get spacers added. You find a way around this? @mxgsfmdpx

Where there’s a will there’s a way! Haha.

They’ve seen what I’ll do w a dremel, duct tape and card board. They prob don’t want me monkeying w the stock and posting pictures.

 

[Windblown907]

Maybe I missed it but what podcast are you talking about?
