I received an e-mail today announcing the entrance of Maven into the rifle scope world. They are bringing an FFP hunting scope to the market (availability in May) in a 2.5-15x44 package that includes capped turrets, side parallax, and choice of 2 reticles. Their scopes are reportedly produced in Japan, and they are hinting at future additions along the lines of a 2-10 model, as well as customized turret options. Did anyone have a look at this during 2018 SHOT?

I saw the scope at the Western Hunt Expo. It looked like a solid entry into the market at first blush. The people running the company are pretty dedicated to making a good product. The binocular line is pretty popular.

First I hear of that.
That's an interesting development. I do not know anyone at Maven, so if you have a contact there, I would appreciate a referral. ILay

Maven doesn’t show at Shot because they do not market their products thru dealers.

When you are dead, you don't know you are dead.It is difficult only for others.
It is the same when you are stupid. |

On paper that looks like an excellent rifle scope. I like the MOA reticle.

That reticle also caught my eye and interests me. I'd really like to see some "thru the scope" pics of it at min, max, and a middle mag setting to see how well it works in FFP.

The reticle is the one thing that I am a little dubious about. I hope they post a detailed drawing at some point.
The specsheet looks interesting and I really like the configuration. If they make a mrad version, I'll definitely get my hands on one and test it. I am sorta actively divesting all my MOA-based scopes, so I do not want to get into another one. Maven is on my watchlist now, though. ILya |

Weight 24.5oz, not really a mountain rifle scope.

Yep. The more I find from Maven on this though, it sounds like that wasn't their intent and plan on following this scope with something along the lines of a 2-10x38 that is intended for a mountain scope.
