I just called Maven. They verified that they will take stock item binoculars back for a full refund within 2weeks if you are not happy. They also stated that if you noted "demo program" on your order they would include a return shipping label.
They asked me which optic I was interested in. I told him the 8x30's but I was going to try the 8x42's because of the eyeglasses/short eye relief. The fellow I was speaking with said that he wore eyeglasses and he had no problems using the B3's - something about the eyecup design....
So I guess I have nothing to lose, full refund if I don't like them, another eyeglass wearer says they work fine w/ glasses. I'll order some B3's and see how they do.

That's the model I reviewed in AH. I suspect you'll like it! i'm sure I will, and it's nice to have guys around here putting out good gear for us.

No issues with the 8x30s with eyeglasses for me.

I like the color combo: Effective camo with a little orange, just in case they're on the ground amid camo-matching Nature and need to find them!

a combination of stealth and bling LOL, but my thoughts were to have the adjustments in a contrasting color.

thanks! if (when?) I get a set of their B3s, i'll use the same colors. if you go to their site, you can play with their options and see what different combinations look like. Maven Binos

I like it, alot. 9x or what? I was certainly impressed with them the one and only time I fooled with them, even if was only for 10 minutes or so. They seem to be very well made, along the lines of the discontinued Gold Ring HD's, both of which were made in the same factory IIRC.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

yes, 9X. I think I read somewhere that they are build on the same frame as another bino that was discontinued? not sure.
