Meopta Meostar B1 15x56 is really really good.

In the $1400 range, I would go meopta. I have seen zeiss conquest 15x56 go for that low on sale and would take that over meopta but its rare to see them that low.

Any insight on the maven B5?

I haven't looked through maven nor know anyone who has. You can get a "loaner" through their website. You buy them and check them out and return if you don't like or keep if you do.

Very nice. Thanks.

By far the leupold santiam HDs - they are amazing. My buddy runs the new Swaro NL Pure 12x42s and we spent a week hunting together where I got to look through them side by side. I know its not apples to apples, aside from weight, I didn’t give up much. I did have an extra 3x, but never once did I feel like my glass was wanting. One evening he says there is an elk under a pine tree a long ways a way. I pull up my Santiam 15x56’s and was like dude, thats a rock. He didnt believe me, so I let him look through my binos. He was like, damn that is a rock…and was totally pissed.

ive been running the maven 18x this hunting season and they complement my 10x42 nls verywell. no need for a spotter imo if hunting tighter canyons or drainages. I can field judge elk out to 2000-2600 yards and mule deer inside of 1600.
