ZeroTech TRACE ADV 3-18×44 FFP Shoot2Hunt

[mt terry d]

S2H Smaller dimensions
Turrets more positive and shorter
Reticle with the windage cheats are nice
Though i did not shoot it yet it does appear that box in the reticle will be a plus
Parallax adjustment doesn't require a pipe wrench to turn.
I don't know the weight difference, easy to look up but I'm not counting ounces anyway

I should add this caveat

This is not to imply the Maven isn't a good or even great scope. It is.
It's just that I think the S2H is *probably better overall

* I would need to use it for a little to say that with certainty

This is the most annoying thing ive found in the Maven. 223 is a non issue but Medium Sportsmatchs are a no go and have mounted the March instead due ti the oversized turrets.

Finally caved and preordered one after all the talk of it being better glass than the maven. Hopefully the turrets are less stiff than the maven too because those suckers are tough to turn.

That’s not unique to the Maven, unfortunately. The SWFA gen2s can do that too.

Yeh im aware just its the only serious issue I have with the maven. The March 3-24 is hard to beat except cost and availability if you pretend its a 3-18.

I actually shot one for basically an entire day.
I love my mavens. But you look through a ZT and it's like wow! The glass is so much better. Not saying maven glass is bad, but that ZT is on another level.
Then the marks on the turrets are turret function is better.

Is that slowed down? Cycle it like your life depends on it and it sorts that issue out. Most actions are designed to be cycled quickly.

No it doesn't. Its worse fast. I slowed it down to confirm the issue.

I dont care how I cycle the bolt it should feed and eject 100%. The 223 does at all speeds.

 

[Castle Rock]

The sauer 100s are even worse
You would think that is this day and age they would design actions to eject horizontally

Also if someone can sell me their kahles range book, that would be great lol

Last I checked, they were still available commercially. I bought one, mainly out of allegiance to Thomas, but I found it didn't offer me much in a range book beyond what I already had printed out, so sold it ...
