New Product Highlight: Maven S1.2 Spotting Scope

Maven has been picking up steam in the optics business thanks to its direct-to-consumer approach that lets you buy straight from the factory with no retail markup.

One thing that’s been holding the company back is a lineup of spotting scopes that’s great for hunters but missing one key piece for precision shooters. That’s no longer an issue.

The new Maven S1.2 spotting scope is now available with a fixed-power 30x reticle eyepiece in MOA or MRAD. You can finally measure what you see – whether it’s a game animal’s proximity to a key piece of terrain or the margin of error on a missed shot – with the same precision that’s visible on your rifle’s reticle.

The reticle eyepieces and 25-50x zoom eyepiece mate with an updated scope that boasts the very best materials and technology Maven has to offer. Maven’s S1.2 gets fluorite glass for optimal clarity, light transmission, and color, all from edge to edge. Lenses are fully multi-coated, phase correction coated, and fogproof. The aluminum scope tube is purged with nitrogen gas.

It’s a burly setup; if you manage to break it, Maven has your back with an equally confidence-inspiring warranty.

The S1.2 is available in angled (S1.2A) and straight (S1.2S) configurations.

“Offering further customization by introducing interchangeable eyepieces into our full-size and mid-size spotting scopes allows each user to personalize the optic to meet their changing needs,” Brendon Weaver, Maven’s co-founder and head of design and marketing, said.
