Maven RS.5 resolution test

Published on March 18, 2024
Duration: 1:00

This video provides a detailed optical resolution test of the Maven RS.5 rifle scope. The instructor notes minimal chromatic aberration, with only a slight purple fringe visible on the target backing. The scope demonstrates excellent sharpness from the center to the edge, resolving fine details like .22 caliber bullet holes and even the difference between paper targets and masking tape. The Air Force Optical Resolution Chart was used, with the instructor able to resolve down to element five in group -1 with the scope and element six with the naked eye, comparing its performance favorably to other high-end optics.

Quick Summary
