    Maven B.3 6x30 first impressions

    great pair of binoculars I like my Kowa 6.5x32 better for its sharper sweet spot, brighter image, and larger FOV. But the maven has the better edge to edge clarity

    many Leica fans would never give up the color saturation that’s why you need to try all the glass out and see what you like

    Any good dangerous game scopes availebel these days?

    It’s a very old tradition in African elephant hunting. …..Donald Trump Jr. was bashed by anti hunters for doing the same thing. I don’t see it any different then antlers or taxidermy heads

    Any good dangerous game scopes availebel these days?

    15x vs 18x Binos!

    Both are nice, I think it depends how much range you need to determine which magnification many 18x sacrifice very little FOV compared to their 15x counterpart. Some actually exceed the AFOV compared to 15x plus you can see the ring in good 18x binoculars, where Saturn is just a football in 15x

    The 1 Thing You Learned- Scopes for Hunting

    Bitten by the 8x32 bug… Thoughts?

    Try a maven 6x30, Leica 7x35, Kowa 6.5x32….the extra exit pupil is more comfortable and brighter for low light condition. Plus they are very stable hen your heart rate is up or it’s windy outside

    22LR - scope?

    I like putting red dots on my 22lr. Using a six o’clock hold gives very impressive accuracy results. I use a 12 o’clock hold for hundred yards to compensate for drop

    Any Leica fans using Swaro SLC 15x56?

    in that case, I probably step down to Leica 12x50 then swaro. But that’s just me. I rather have the “Leica look” of saturated colors
