Maven C series

Have you looked at them compared to vortex vipers
Side by side in the same configuration, no. A hunting buddy uses a pair of the 18x56 Kaibabs. My 12x50 Maven C are significantly better in brightness, edge distortion, and color. But you’d sorta expect that comparing 12x to 18x. I don’t think you’d be unhappy with the Mavens if you are limited on budget. Mine were purchased by my employer, but I’d spend my own money on them.
 
My 18s are Maven C4's. They are really great glass for the money. The only issue I find when compared to my near-alpha 10x binos (Monarch HG's) is that the color saturation isn't in the same tier. I MIGHT upgrade next year but they do a dang good job.
 
The answer to this question is no. I have been using C 10x42s for 7 years now. I have looked through all of the Swaros, Maven B series, Vectrex, Meopta ect. While yes there is a difference in the clarity, even the top tier glass is not twice as good as the C series.

I hunt big open country in Wyoming and I put those Cs on a tripod and I just dont ever feel like I am missing anything. I have upgraded a lot of gear in the last 7 years and just cant justify the cost of upgrading from the Cs. I am holding out for range finding Binos before I move on from them.

The vipers are not in the same class either.

Thanks, that’s what I am wanting to hear.
