I second maven. I’ve had vortex, then leupold, and found a maven b2 in the Wyoming mountains and wow what a great pair of binos.I've looked at Maven and they are great Binocs. . My brother put his Swaro's against the Maven's and he couldn't tell the difference even in low light conditions.
Maven has just come out with a $300 pair called C-1 that uses the same glass as the B-1. it doesnt have the real nice case and adjustment knobs as the B-1.
