    Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 FFP with SHR-W MOA reticle Field Tested and Reviewed

    I see. I really like the thickness of the SHR-W at and above 10x. I don’t have any desire for it to be thicker, although I’m sure I could get by fine with the SHR-Mil’s thickness.

    Which reticle thickness did you prefer at high powers?

    Tract Toric UHD 22-45x65 Spotting Scope Review, By Matt Cashell

    I prefer the ATS.

    Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 FFP with SHR-W MOA reticle Field Tested and Reviewed

    The only difference is the reticle, so any conclusions you are willing to make about the Mil version you can make about the MOA version.

    Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 FFP with SHR-W MOA reticle Field Tested and Reviewed

    I agree. I have been doing some shooting with it at 2.5x, and it certainly usable. I do keep it at 4x for walking around, though.

    Swarovski NL Pure 14X52 Tested and Reviewed

    I think you meant 15x SLC. The Meopta 15x is essentially identical to the 15x SLC in performance. So the 14x NL has the same advantages over the Meopta that it has over the SLC. What that is worth to you, I can’t say.

    Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 FFP with SHR-W MOA reticle Field Tested and Reviewed

    The lines of targets are at 100, 200, and 300 yards. The crosshairs are on the 200 yard line of targets.

    NEW! Kowa Prominar TSN-55A Review ***Updated 7/28/24***

    As noted in the review, this new Kowa solves the 553's eye relief/ FOV issues compared to the ATC. And ... They are both green ;).

    It comes down to which focus style and/or rubber armor. The optics are essentially a wash.

    NEW Zeiss Conquest HDX Binocular Tested and Reviewed!

    Oh, I see. I only had a sample of the 10x42 HDX for eval. I'm not sure how the 8x32 HDX performs. The 8x32 UHD, as you know, is quite good.

    NEW Zeiss Conquest HDX Binocular Tested and Reviewed!

    The 10x42 Razor UHD is a much bigger/heavier binocular. I didn’t have them side-by-side, but the Razor UHD is probably a little better optically corrected than the HDX, but doesn’t have the full list of features, and it’s more expensive.

    NEW Zeiss Conquest HDX Binocular Tested and Reviewed!

    The Monarch HG and Maven B1.2 are very similar in optical performance with the HG adding a little extra FOV, so the comparisons apply similarly. The Monarch HG’s eyecups are not removeable, however.

    NEW! Kowa Prominar TSN-55A Review ***Updated 7/28/24***

    Reading through your post … I think you answered your own question. If you are satisfied with 40x, and want to save the weight … go for it.

    Vortex Razor UHD 8X32 and 10X32 Mid Size Binoculars

    The 10X32 model has a listed spec of 17mm. The 8x32 has a 19mm spec. In practice, I could just see the entire FOV of the 10x32 with glasses contacting the fully collapsed eyecups, while I could see the entire FOV of the 8X32 a little easier with the 8x32 eyecups fully collapsed.

    NEW Zeiss Conquest HDX Binocular Tested and Reviewed!

    I took a look at a pre-release sample of the new Conquest HDX 10X42 binocular. At under $1000 retail, this is by far the most competitive part of the market. Zeiss threw a lot of features at the Conquest HDX in hopes of competing at the very top of the segment. Zeiss Conquest HDX Binocular...

    Absolutely. Still a top quality binocular. It is amazing what Swarovski has done with the NL Pure line though.

    Trijicon Credo HX Fail

    Absolutely. This is semi-frequent up and down the market in all sport optics. Sent in my Swaro SLC binocular one time for it. It is usually a tiny spec of the internal blackening that unluckily landed on a lens surface where it is visible. Most companies will warranty the repair. The OP's...
