Maven C3 10x50, Vortex Viper 10x50, or Athlon Cronus 10x42? Mid priced Bino for archery and western big game hunting

[Gmag]

Looking for new optics. What are your recommendations and experience? I cannot afford or justify anything over $700 but want decent glass that will work for archery hunts as well as rifle hunts. The 10x I feel is probably too much for archery and maybe limiting for rifle but as a whole I think they will be adequate.

I’ve had two of the three. Go with the Maven. If you can be patient, a set of B series will hit the classifieds under $700.

Of those three.... Maven by a mile.

I need to try maven 10x50’s because I own the vipers and they are surprisingly very good in the 10x50 format. I own several pairs of alphas and the vipers aren’t far behind.

With the current sale they have, I opted to go with the B6 Mavens! Thanks for the responses guys
