Hey, Rokslide
I'm having a bit of a moral dilemma. It sounds stupid, but it's true. On a previous thread, I asked about binoculars and I ended up getting Maven B.1 10x42's and they flat kick ass. I couldn't be happier with them. I'm now in the market for a spotting scope and I've narrowed down my selection to the Maven S.1A 25-50x80 and the Swarovski ATS-65HD 20-60x. I can get them for about the exact same price, give or take a little. I'm having 2 problems with deciding which spotting scope to get.
1 - I want to support American made. Maven is American made even though I know their glass is from Japan.
2 - I don't want the optical quality of the Swarovski glass to make me feel like my new Maven binoculars are inferior and be tempted to get Swarovski binoculars.
I know this is silly but it's an internal dilemma that I'm battling and I want to know what you all think.
Thanks
