SAINT® Victor 9 mm Carbine

Maven USA ELA Shoot in South Africa • This shoot was an awesome ELR event, especially having Maven Optic’s owners here from the USA, with the company based in Lander, Wyoming. It designs some of the best award-winning optics, sold exclusively direct to the end user, with no middleman and no retail markup. The range includes binoculars, monoculars, rangefinders, riflescopes, spotting scopes, optics accessories, and Maven merchandise.

My King of Two Miles SA 2025 Journey • My name is Richie Young, and I live in Virginia, USA. I have been shooting ELR for just over three years. My day-to-day profession is Information Technology, and I also own a small firearm manufacturing company. As clichéd as it sounds, hunting and shooting are in my blood. I have an old picture of me with a pellet gun, my father, and one of our dogs heading to the woods at age six.
