At first I wasn't sure that purchasing an optic I haven't been able to hold in my hand and "test drive" was a good idea but i decided to pull the trigger. All doubts where soon erased (living in Wyoming just over the mtn from Maven) my spotter was here in less than 48 hrs. Wow!!! You couldn't ask for a better back country light weight spotter. It packs so much better than my large angled Razor HD I'm more apt to actually put it in my pack on those long 7-10 mile days I may not have as much magnification but the clarity is so crisp and clean from lowest to highest setting you don't need 60x or even 40x. I have been so impressed with the spotter as you get so much more out of this much smaller, packable, and lightweight piece of equipment. It is now as essential as the boots on my feet when guiding clients here in Wyoming for mature mule deer and antelope. Only thing I dislike would be the fact you can't customize it like you can directly from Maven website. But that being said a customized spotting scope doesn't put bigger antlers on a mule deer either, at least I don't think it does??
