Monoculars
Thinking about purchasing one for simple quick use in the field.
Googled them and YouTubed them but there are so many out there so anyone using one?
Which one would you recommend?

Just bought my wife a little Vortex solo. For the $130 it is actually pretty good. I looked at some trees at about 500 yards and it’s surprisingly clear.

I like the vortex when I'm hunting light. I hate binos hanging off my neck and thetes just sometimes ( a bunch of times actually) where i just dont want the blob of a bino bag on my chest... they work great for me..

Have a vortex solo. It's great for what it is and can be found for a good deal if you look around a bit. Light weight, small, half decent optic what's not to like

I have the vortex solo
Pretty good optics but I find it a little hard to hold steady
don't use it as much as I thought I would, mostly checking targets for archery

I bought the Vortex Solo to carry in the canoe, It was a mail order and I wasn't expecting much but I was surprised at the quality,

Vortex Solo again. Mainly use it in the house to look at birds, animals and hikers in the distance. Sometimes bring it into the field. I rely on my rf binos for hunting.

I’ve been eyeing one of those up for a while now.
You’ll have to let us know how you like it

Maven CM.1
Maven CM.1 is another option to the Vortex
Costs more for sure, but far less than stepping up into Leica
I do not own a monocular but like the idea of one especially for bowhunting
I tend to use my rangefinder as a monocular
