Would you buy this scope?

Sounds like a user issue, not a scope issue. I’ve never had issues finding my target with higher magnification scopes.

Never, once? Incredible!

There’s no way they haven’t had friends and associates send them dozens of links to this forum. They know.

My theory anyway.

No need for it to be a theory - at least the last part. They know. Multiple of us have pointed them to the threads here. When you speak with them, they know all about it.

However, for a little while, they hadn't twigged that going on a podcast and then misrepresenting the drop eval, and even seeming to belittle this customer base of theirs would, in turn, be noticed and commented upon ...

But they know about that now, too!

Yes.

Likely two ordered up front, and approx. 7 or so over time.

For those wanting to delve more into the history of thought behind this project, the two posts below are starting points.

Then read Form's eval of the Minox XP5 and Maven RS 1.2, and associated Q&A threads, in detail ...

This might help answer some of the questions / issues throughout this current thread about specs, performance, and so on.

Missing Rifle Scope Features?

What do you want in a rifle scope that you either don't have now or aren't seeing on the market?

rokslide.com

Here’s the recipe-

1). Mid power 3 or 4x in the low end, 12-16x on the high end.

2). 30mm, 42-45mm objective.

3). sub 24oz weight

4. Specifically designed and built to stay zeroed through impacts and drops.

5). Locking or zero stopped low pro elevation turret, capped windage designed and built for consistent and repeatable use

6). Front focal plane, Mil/Mil with a reticle that is specially designed for low and high power visibility. Cut to the chase and use the THLR reticle from @THLR

7. Large, forgiving eyebox, large FOV if possible.


Then take that scope and actually test them versus the “tests” that everyone does, before placing on the market

No my theory isn't that they don't know Rokslide is driving sales, more that they accidentally spec'd a scope from LOW that happens to be rugged while their other scopes aren't. As long as they hold inventory in those (non-ruggedized) scopes, they can't acknowledge that only one model they sell is worth mounting to a rifle.

Perhaps their next gen 3 series RS scope will be ruggedized as well if their accountants decide to sign up for unprecendented demand.
