Looking for your Maven C.4 15x56 reviews

[Hiwayman92]

I’m thinking about taking the plunge on big eyes, but I want to stay in the under $1k range. I’ve read everything I can find about these C.4’s, which isn’t much. I’m hoping you guys have some hours behind these by now and I want to hear your thoughts on them vs the B.5’s, Meoptas and Kaibabs.

Have you looked at the Steiner HX 15x56?
With the innovative HX Series, you’ve got a new arsenal of optics to match your style and quarry. The high-precision roof prism design, advanced lens coatings, ergonomic rubber-armored polycarb frames, and four specific-performance models let you focus on your individual adventure like never before.

Pick your challenge, and there’s new HX to master it. From dark woods to sunlit ridges, lowland bogs to the high plains, new optical approaches and frame designs promise brighter, clearer images, extended field of view, easier handling, and all-weather toughness to bring more success to every hunt.

Magnification Factor	15x
Objective Size	56.0 mm
Exit Pupil	5.6mm
Close Focus	8.0m
Linear Field of View	Not Specified
Relative Brightness Index	13.9
Coating	hydrophobic molecula
Prism Type	Roof

Doug I have an older pair of HX 8x42. They are okay. How do these compare to the Zeiss conquest 8x42's?

I'd say the HX series is on par with the Conquest series

I can't speak to the Mavens but comparing the Kaibabs to the Meoptas is night and day. The Meoptas (B1 not even b1+) are much clearer and the eye strain and eye relief are in another class all together. Pass on the Kaibabs.


I upgraded from Vortex last year, I bought mine used (basically new) on here for right about a grand.

Thanks for the input. Somebody must have some time in on the C.4’s!

Maven C4 in 15x and 18x

This is an exciting debut. I have the C series in 10x42 and am very impressed with them. Has anyone here at Rokslide had a chance to get they're hands on these? Any reviews coming? Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

There are other threads if you search for them.

Hmmm... I'm curious how they measured that exit pupil. 5.6mm doesn't pass the sniff test here.

Those are the B5’s, I’m looking at the C.4’s. I’ve read everything there is to read on these forums and all is promising but there just isn’t much.

Still waiting to see one if you optics nerds post up a good comparison/review video or post on the C.4’s. I’m thinking of pulling the trigger as most of my big eye glassing will be in the middle of the day I presume, as my SLC 10’s will stay on my chest. I’m also stuck on the 15 or 18x decision. My gut says 15’s, but I’ve read the field of view is similar?
