The baby razor is the only compact one on the list. The other two are just smaller 65mm spotters.
I wanted to love the baby razor. I had my mind on getting it. I got to the store. They took it outside and set it up and I just couldn’t buy it. The eyerelief sucked and the image just wasn’t great. Granted mirage makes everything suck to a point. I ended up going with the full size 65mm razor. Which I have already turned around and sold. lol
The budget maven spotter I also looked through wasn’t great. I don’t remember which one it was but it felt just like any other budget spotter I have borrowed from buddies.
I would like to experience the athlon since it gets such glowing reviews. They can be had used in here for around $400. Maybe I’ll snag one this winter.
If you have $700 and can stretch another $200 you are right into that used Ko
I can’t speak to the Athlons but I’m on my second pair of Mavens. I sold my c’s last year and went to a set of b3’s. My eyes like them both better than the Leupold bx4’s I had before. The c series are a great buy if you can catch one of their sales
I did their demo option on my first pair, not a bad way to go if you want to see them first.
leaning toward the maven. Seems best for the money, looks to be nearly identical in size as the vortex just heavier. Same no questions warranty plus 65 vs 56mm objective and more magnification seems like a no brainer
