Anyone have any thoughts on these scopes? I’m in the market for something to put on a lighter 6.5 creedmoor and would like to hear the good, the bad, the ugly.

I asked this same question maybe a year or so ago and wasn’t able to get much feedback other then the eye relief is lacking a bit.

the eye relief is lacking a bit. Maven's specs are 60-81mm @ 10x, which is 2.36 - 3.19" for eye relief. The SHR reticle looks nice.

I own and hunt with one. It’s got very nice glass and the shr reticle is good for hunting and uncluttered, you see the subs when you need them. The scope itself is very trim and attractive and adjustments are accurate and crisp. The eye relief is small. I could not get it to work for me on a LA M70 fwt with a LOP of 13.5”,even with rear extended rings. I use it on a SA fwt in 250ai. with a LOP of 13.25 “ and rear extended rings. If the eye relief were greater on this scope I would own a bunch of them. Hope this helps.

So what is a normal distance for eye relief? What numbers work for the average to large guy with a 13.5 length of pull?

Thanks for the replies. I guess the eye relief is a consideration on my part as I’m 6’8” tall and still shooting a standard LOP stock on this gun.
