Maven CS.1A Spotting scope and C1 10x42 Bino
One question I have heard many times by clients and others who often are semi new in certain aspects of big game hunting is affordable optics that work well enough to get the job done. Digging in further many ask whether or not they need to lug around a spotting scope. I started at the bottom and worked my way up as far as quality of glass and defiantly notice justifiable differences in paying more. But I understand the need for hunters who maybe go once or twice a year or are just getting into hunting to go with an affordable option. I have 2 daughters that just came of hunting age and I can’t afford to by top end glass for them. But the glass has to work I can tell you first hand many cheaper options aren’t worth carrying.
I was given both the CS.1A maven and previously the C1 10x42 Binos for review
I have had my daughter using the 10x42 mavens for a little while and have been impressed with them especially at the price point they are at. I will have more detailed info on them coming up. Just the other day I received the spotting scope and once I opened the box was blown away by the compactness especially for a 15-45X65 spotter they seem like they would fit in just about any side pouch. The website states it weighs 40 ounces and is 11.4 inches in length. I weighed it 39 ounces and measured right at 11.4 inches it is small and compact it feels very stout and weighs a bit more then it looks like it would. It has lower tier mid-line pricing 650$ retail
Here is a picture with it side by side with my Swarovski spotter don't make too much fun of the scope cover it cost me 24 bucks and has lasted 10 years.
It has been very smoky the past several days and hasn’t been ideal for glassing. I’m going to be running it side by side with my 20-60 Swarovski .I’m excited to spend some time with this and should be able to spend quite a bit of time behind it the next few weeks. it feels like it could be good answer for a lot of guys just getting into back-country hunting both weight and cost wise.
