Anyone have experience with their binoculars? Considering a pair as I can get them for the same price as Leupold bx5 pro guide.

I’ve been running the B2 11x45 since 2015. I bought my daughter a pair of the C1 10x42 on a special early release sale.
the B2 run close to the older swaro EL’s, about 3-4 min dusk difference and color tone slight advantage to Swaro and edge to edge slight advantage to swaro. Biggest difference is swaro is less weight.
the C1 have good glass for the price, but durability is questionable with that said I tore my B2’s up pretty good on a full send down a cliff. Sent them to Maven and had a new pair with in 9 days. Absolutely best CS I've interacted with.

I’ve kept a pair of 10x42 C1’s in my truck for three years now and have been very happy with the quality vs. price point. I won’t hesitate to spend money with them.

Tried out the B6 10x50 in the field this weekend. Low light is superb compared to most, only ones I’ve looked through that were a little better are swaro’s!

Used a pair in Wyoming for the first time last week. They were my friends and were very clear and felt comfortable when viewing. Parts from Japan, assembled in San Diego, HQ in Lander, Wyoming. Folks in Lander are from the old Bruton optics company of Riverton, Wyoming.

Looks like some of the C series have Chinese components or come directly from China. Probably best to stick with B and S series.
