Description

The S.2 is the ultimate lightweight and packable spotting scope specifically designed to maximize performance while minimizing size and weight. The S.2 features an Abbe-Koenig prism, fluorite glass, well thought out ergonomics, and is housed in a compact 11 inch, 34 oz. package. For those who go the extra distance and travel light, but refuse to compromise on performance, the S.2 is the absolute best lightweight spotting scope. This is our recommended spotting scope for backcountry hunters and wildlife viewers.

As with the entire S Series line-up, the S.2 also features a fluorite glass objective system - the best glass available for larger objective lenses which yields tack-sharp edge-to-edge clarity, superior low light performance, and bright, crisp images with no aberration or distortion, even at maximum magnification.

The Maven S Series represents our elite line of optics, designed to fit your specific needs, delivered for a fraction of the cost to comparable spotting scopes and stacks up with the most celebrated and expensive scopes in the world. Whether you choose a stock color unit or configure your own custom-built optic, our modern sportsman-inspired designs are paired with the best available materials and state of the art technology to create an uncompromising optic.

Includes neoprene cover.

Maven: Crafted for the Outdoors

Mountain Town Roots

Maven started in a mountain town, driven by folks who’d rather be out hunting or hiking than chasing corporate profits. Their optics are made for people like you—hunters, birdwatchers, anyone who trusts their gear to make every moment in the wild count. It’s honest craftsmanship from a team that shares your passion for the outdoors.

Top Quality Craftsmanship

Maven skips the retail middleman and those 15-30% markups that jack up prices in stores. By selling direct, they focus on what matters: top-grade Japanese glass and materials built to handle the toughest conditions, not cheapened to fit a retailer’s price tag. You get optics designed to perform, shipped right from their workshop to your door.

Your Australian Connection

As Maven’s Australian supplier, The Modern Hunter is right here, living the same outdoor life you do. Call us up, and you’ll talk to a real person who knows Maven’s gear and Australia’s rugged terrain inside out. We’re ready to help you pick the perfect optics for your next adventure, with the kind of service you’d expect from a mate.

What is your warranty?

All Maven optics come with an unconditional lifetime warranty. If your optic becomes damaged or is at all defective (not including deliberate or cosmetic damage that does not hinder product performance), contact us immediately for repair or replacement. We don’t care where or when you bought it or if it was your fault or not - if it says Maven, we will take care of it.

How can I check out your optics before purchase?

We attend several events per year including expos, fairs, and other outdoor events. As well as some club meetings. This is a great way to see our gear in person. Please get in touch so we can assist you selecting the right optic for your needs

What is included when I buy a spotting scope?

Each spotting scope comes with lens covers for the objective and ocular lenses and a soft storage bag suitable for cleaning the lenses.

Why is a hard case not included?

We know that not everyone uses or wants a hard case. If a hard case was included, the overall cost of the optic to the customer would be higher. As with all of our components we keep the cost as low as possible.
