I’ve been looking for a pair of 15 power binos. I’ve read the two best options are swaro SLC and Meopta meostar.
I’ve done some digging and saw tract, Steiner and maven came up as well.
Anyone have any experience with 15 power binos that are not swaro or Meopta

I use the BX5 Santiam 15x56 - absolutely love them. Ran them next to Swaro NL Pure 12x42s for a week elk hunting and preferred the 15x Santiams 🤷🏻‍♂️

Not sure why the Santiams dont get more love - they are phenomenal.

I would say that ghe 15x Bushnell Forge is very good for the price.

I’m thinking this as well but was trying to see other options
Anyone use the maven C series in this power range?

I’ve been trying to dig up reviews on the C.4 15x56 or 18x56 also. From very limited info I’ve read they are as good or better than the Kaibabs but not as good as the UHD. I brilliant read somewhere that there was only a .3% light transmission difference between them and the high dollar Maven big eye. Since I don’t think I’ll be using the big eyes in low light much, I’m tempted to try them.

I figure my 10’s will still hang on my chest and get the most use, but the /5’s would get more mid day bedded buck type of use. Buy a pair and let me know!
