For sale maven b5 15x56. With outdoorsmans stud. Excellent condition with perfect lenses, no wear on the body that I can see. Mechanically perfect with smooth focus and eye cups. Used for one hunt in Wyoming last year and stayed in their cloth bag when not in use. Will come shipped in original box and packaging. Selling because I have 12s now and also duovid 10-15s so they are redundant..but they are excellent optics and I am fairly picky.

Can include outdoorsmans tall adapter for a little extra if desired.

$1100 TYD

I had the 18s and felt like they were overpowered for my uses. Depth of focus was fairly shallow on the 18s. The glass was great and when you focused on a deer you could judge him pretty well. But for searching for deer in open country I strongly preferred the 15s (had them side by side many times scouting). These are a very balanced optic with no real glaring flaws to me. Compared to NLs—two very different optics. You can see more at distance with 15s, no question. They just plain resolve more due to the power. But the NLs are small and light, can be handheld well, and can show you maybe 90% of what the 15s can. NLs are more striking optically but both leave nothing to be desired IMO. I’m still not sure if I’m sold on 12s replacing 15s which is why I am keeping my duovids. Optically the mavens are better than the duovids at 15x but it’s close enough and I love the 10-15 zoom and they will stay with me forever.

I totally concur, I originally had maven 18x's but were a bit overpowering and the edge distortion was fairly prominent for my eyes (compared to SLC 15x)... I dropped down to Maven 15x B5s (the ones listed here) and they were awesome! I sold the Swarovski SLCs and kept the mavens... totally awesome binos. I'm sure these will sell. Free bump!
