    Maven c1 vs leupold bx-4 10x42

    You're really selling me on the Leupolds. Are they potentially your new best below $1K? Sent from my moto z4 using Tapatalk

    Binocular upgrade

    Well my original list wasn't getting into their retail price. They will certainly be a model that is looked at as I move forward. Sent from my moto z4 using Tapatalk

    Binocular upgrade

    I don't mind the hijack... Yeah, I read up on their demo program. Unless I rule them out before I'll probably use it. There aren't a lot of reviews that I was able to find. One site ( Audobon maybe) scored them better than all but one of the binos in their $1-2k price range. Has anybody ever...

    Binocular upgrade

    I guess I should have been a little more specific. The Mavens I'd most likely consider would be the B1 followed (not closely) by the B3; both in 8x. The B2s look interesting but the weight penalty is too much. I need to weigh my current Pentax and get an accurate weight to compare against.

    Binocular upgrade

    So in typical me fashion I'm now looking seriously at more expensive options. (4 years ago I was looking at $6-8k SUVs and ended up with a $25k truck...) I'm going to save my pennies for a while and I think I can justify making the jump to $1000 range of options. I may pick up a pair of used...

    Binocular upgrade

    Yeah, that's almost what mine would look like! If they took PayPal Credit I would have caved. Another question: is relative brightness consistent across different manufacturers? Found the answer to that one; relative brightness and twilight factor are mostly meaningless... Sent from my moto...

    Binocular upgrade

    So I completely geeked out on specs tonight. I really appreciate all of the input. I've got a spreadsheet with specifications for about 35 models in it. Right now I think I'm leaning towards staying at an 8x. It just seems that for the majority of my hunting it will be a better choice and...

    Maven c1 vs leupold bx-4 10x42

    I just wanted to clarify; do the C1s have a narrow field of view (FOV) or a shallow depth of field? Is there a quantification of depth of field. I geeked out on bino specs tonight and want to make sure I've got the relevant numbers that I want before I start narrowing things down.

    Binocular upgrade

    I'm in the market for a new pair of binoculars. I've been using an almost 20 year old pair of Pentax UCF 8x24s. (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000067O8D/ref=nosim/httpstrateama-20 ) I mainly hunt PA for whitetails but want something with some versatility as in the next 20 years I will have the...

    Light load for 7 mm

    Just to clarify the recommended reduced load is a 60% of max charge. That means a 50 grain max load in the book is reduced to a 30 grain charge. When I first read the quoted post I read it as stating a 40% of max but it does say reduces so I don't know if it was a typo, error, or just...

    AGC question

    Looking closely at his pictures, my guess is Paracord. Depending on what you are attaching you could also use Slik clips or Grimlocks. Sent from my Mi MIX 2 using Tapatalk

    Sam's Club Merino?

    I've used Sam's Omniwool socks for several years. They don't hold up as well as Smartwool but for 1/3rd the price they I think they are a good value.

    Craziest Moose Horns Ever

    It's a real thing, called "fetus in fetu". The only way to know for sure would be to DNA test each of the antlers. My wife is into medical documentaries and we've seen a few stories where this happened to people.

    The Cave and the Heartbrake: a 10 yr old boys first goat hunt

    Since this thread popped back up... This thread was inspiration for me when I made a similar mistake last month. I coached my daughter into shooting her first whitetail, a spike when the only thing in season was antlerless. Complete brain fart on my part and I didn't realize it for a couple...

    Light bar brands?

    I have a couple Aurora (eBay or Amazon) cubes on my truck and I've heard good things about Armored Lighting. They look identical from what I can tell and come with decent wiring harnesses.
