Hey guys,
I finally have the green light from my wife to pull the trigger on a spotting scope. It will primarily be used for scouting deer in june and july out of a vehicle, mtn bears in the spring and mule deer on the alberta badlands in the early fall. With work and family obligations we only get out on a sheep hunt once every couple of years, but obviously it would be in the pack for that as well.
As much as I am sure the german glass is tough to beat, I just can't justify that expense. I currently run the maven b2's and have been very impressed with the quality. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone with the S1 up here, and would rather have some opinions prior to paying the shipping for a demo from Maven.
So for those of you with experience with the maven s1 what were you general thoughts? Did you miss the additional magnification or was the 50x sufficient?
