Title: Maven binos?
Post by: Commando on January 31, 2016, 11:46:27 AM: We were at the sports show this weekend and saw the maven bino stand. Anyone have any experience with them? Looking at them on line I kind of like them. Anyone know how they would stack up against swarovski or vortex? Thanks

I'd like to save up and get some swarovski binos but don't want to spend that much on them I have a pair of monarchs I liked but I broke them after a few hunts. So I'm looking for something better. Wish I would of messed with those mavons more yesterday. But had the wife with me and a screaming four month old, so had to get out of there quick.

I don't have any experience with mavens but I like the ability to stylize everything your way. I believe the binocular is made in Japan and the stylizing is state side.

Did you fix them under the warranty?
