    The New Maven B3 6x30

    A few weeks ago someone posted on BF that a new Maven B3 in 6x30 was listed on the Maven website. I was kind of excited about that but upon checking the site, the field of view was listed as 341 for this model same as the B3 10x30. This couldn't be correct. So today I called and spoke to Mike at...

    A decent set of cheap bins

    slick focus knob?

    Anyone have a good idea of how to make a too smooth focus knob a bit more grippy. The knob itself works just fine but it is made of a material that is just to smooth to provide good traction. Jim

    Opticron Oregon 2014 Phase Coated?

    Can anyone comment on whether the Opticron Oregon new model in 2014 is now phase coated? The Eagle Optics website say's that it is and a sales rep confirmed this over the phone.

    Celestron Cavalry 7x30 Porro

    Has anyone checked these out? On paper at least they appear to smoke a few of the most popular models like Yosemite, and Vortex Raptor in several categories, like weight, field of view and close focus. They are waterproof and have nice looking armor. Or are they just the old Nature 8x30 with...

    Sightmark Solitude XD 7X36

    I have run across ads for these a number of times and wondering if anyone here has used them, seen them or can comment about them in any way. They seem to have a lot going for them if you like a 7x36, at least on paper. Build quality?

    Repair advice needed

    I am in need of some advice on where I might be able to have a repair on some rather inexpensive binos repaired other than the factory. These belong to my Father who is in his ninetys but still looking at birds. They are 8x32 Vanguard platinum series and I have contacted Vanguard about them...

    Bring back the Vortex Fury

    Bring it back but with E.D. Glass of the new Viper. Keep the same eyecups but with a few more positions. Change the diopter to the Right eyepiece and add a lock. Keep the wide field of view and molded armor around the strap lugs. Slow the focus knob down a bit and make it a bit more precise...
