Maven B.5 18X56

[freebird]

I hope Maven has a pair at the Boise sportsmans show....might have to take a serious look before this next hunting season

Here they are next to my 12ELs. With eyecups extended they are 8.75 inches tall.

How would these match up against Kaibabs ?

Would have to compare them. I’ve only look through Kaibabs a few times.

Are you doing a full write up on these ? I’ll be adding these to my list .thanks

Called maven on these they said summer time for release . $1500 for the 15s $1800 for the 18s . If that’s the case I might as well spend $500 more and get Swarovskis

I have no use for 15s because I think the 12 ELs are so close with a bigger FOV. Now the 18s are a totally different animal and if you know me you know how much I love Swaro. But Maven knocked the 18s out of the park IMO.

That’s a strong statement coming from the guy with his face plastered on a Swarovski ad

More spike in price to the 18s than I would have expected, I was seeing $1500-1550 references towards the 18s, they must have meant the 15s if your number is accurate. I am planning to change out my 15s, I was considering the meostar and these in 18, didn’t realize the price hike. Some budget pondering to do.

The price on the 18s is interesting.

Maybe she misquoted me but she gave me two prices . One for 15s and 18s

If you look their prices always go up with the magnification but not by that much. The 12x B4 are $1350 and the 15x B4 are $1400.

Hopefully a misquote.

 

[Pronghunter]

The 18x will START at $1500 and go up from there.

Dang it, not helpful Ryan.

With that, now I have to try these before my son and I go to Eastern Montana.

If they are decently bright up until near end shooting light despite the 18 power, they sound like a great tool potentially.

You're lucky, you can borrow them and post up your thoughts.

Dam was hoping to turn my b4s back on demo and get the 18s before spring bear April 15th

I talked to Brenden Weaver about on Friday. He spoke very highly of these and said to hold out before buying 15’s and check these out

 

[Ryan Avery]

To clear this up I just talked to Brenden. The 15s will be $1500ish the 18s with be $1600ish

Good deal , the secretary answering the phone must have misquoted me
