Maven C.1 (sale price $262.50) vs Vortex Viper HD (sale price $299.97).
Size 10x42
What is the better choice for hunting out west in the Rockies? I don’t know anything about hunting out west but I just bought both of these at their sale prices. I’m returning the Vipers. The Maven C.1 had better overall image clarity and especially around the edges. Where ya buy the Mavin's C1 Amazon and Maven website both had them for 25% off. $262 I believe

Have been thoroughly impressed with the $299 Vipers from Cabelas's. I have a Swaro SLC 10x42 and in direct comparison the Vipers are very very good. They don't quite have the depth of field of the Swaros but the sharpness at the center (and most) of the view is extremely close. Have ran them in bright light where the Swaro has a little better control of flare and near dark where the difference requires a tripod to hold them still enough to see any difference. The Vipers are good enough that I am seriously considering selling my SLC's. Would have never guessed the Vipers to be that good.

I picked up the Vipers also, comparing them to my meopta meopros. I'm very satisfied and the sale price made it that much better.

Not ready to trade my ELs for 'em, but what a value@$299.
