Source: mavenbuilt.com (verified 2026-07-11) · corroborated by survivalblog.com. Maven's official product and specifications pages confirmed the exact model — S.2 12-27x56, 56mm fluorite-glass objective, Abbe-Koenig prism, nitrogen-purged/waterproof (IPX7), 11 in length and 34.4 oz weight — and listed the US price of $1,050 for both color options. The dated SurvivalBlog review (Jan 13, 2025) independently confirmed the same model designation, fluorite glass, Abbe-Koenig prism, waterproof/fog-proof build, ~11 in length, 34.4 oz weight, and the $1,050 price. The Amazon listing corroborated model identity (12-27x, 56mm FL, 34.37 oz, 11 in, fluorite) but showed EUR-only pricing, so it was not used for the USD price; viewingAngle, closeFocusFt (page states 2.5 m, not feet), and eyeReliefMm (range not mapped to lowest magnification) were left null rather than guessed.
