I'll be heading into a new area for a 1 week archery elk (maybe mule deer) backpack hunt in a couple of weeks. I'm not sure how much glassing I'll end up doing as I have never hunted this area before.
I have the Maven B1's in 8x42 and B3's in 8x30. (I didn't buy two 8x binos, one is my daughter's) I like spending time with the B1's more than the B3's (I'm guessing it's the larger exit pupil but really don't know) but I like the 13 oz of weight savings with the B3's. (B1 29.125oz, B3 16.25oz).
Which binos would you take? The more comfortable/enjoyable B1's, or the 13oz lighter B3's?
