Maven, the Wyoming-based manufacturer of premium optics, today announced a new variation of the award-winning CS.1 spotting scope equipped with a straight eyepiece. Now available in two variations, with straight or angled eyepieces, both CS.1 spotting scopes provide the user with the same level of optical performance and clarity in the field.
With a 15-45x magnification range and a 65mm objective lens, the CS.1 line was developed to provide powerful yet compact spotting scopes that won’t break the bank. With the introduction of the CS.1S, customers can now choose a straight or angled eyepiece to best suit their needs.
“Feedback and reviews for CS.1A have been great, but we get a lot of requests for a direct version,” said Brendon Weaver, Maven co-founder and director of design and marketing. “We are always looking for ways to give customers what they need and fill in the gaps in our product offering, so we went to work on the CS.1S and are excited to have it available.”
Built to the same pedigree as the original CS.1A, as well as the brand’s other C-Series optics, the CS.1S features a well-balanced, lightweight magnesium/aluminum frame and fully multi-coated lenses. It also uses the brand’s Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass to produce an exceptionally clear, bright, high-contrast image with incredible color reproduction and excellent low-light performance.
At just 12.13 inches long and 40.4 ounces in weight, it’s an excellent choice for hunters, bird watchers, wildlife watchers, and tourists looking for a mid-range spotting scope that’s easy to carry, use, and store in the field or at home.
Like all other Maven products, the CS.1S is covered by a lifetime warranty and, thanks to Maven’s direct-to-consumer business model, offers great value ($800) to match its exceptional performance.

EDGEFIELD, SC — SITKA Gear awarded the National Wild Turkey Federation a $25,000 ecosystem grant to improve wildlife habitat and reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires on more than 1,600 acres in Montana’s Bitterroot National Forest. The NWTF will use the grant to secure an additional $696,400 in partner funds to carry out high-priority forest management.
The project fits into NWTF’s burgeoning Big Sky Forest Initiative, a collaborative effort, jointly developed by NWTF and the USDA Forest Service, established to improve wildlife habitat, ensure clean water, enhance recreational opportunities and create communities and forests resilient to the threat. catastrophic forest fires.
“We are thrilled to continue our support of NWTF’s important initiatives to improve wildlife habitat across the country,” said Lindsey Davis, director of SITKA conservation ecosystem and partnership grants. “The Big Sky Forest Initiative represents an inspiring, large-scale collaborative effort with our federal land managers and will have a major impact on wildlife and their habitats in our home state of Montana. This forestry work will not only benefit turkey hunters, but also recreationists and the ecosystem in general.”
Like many forests throughout the western United States, Montana’s forests were historically shaped by fire. Uncharacteristically catastrophic wildfires, however, have drastically different outcomes and threaten Montana’s natural resources and those who hold them dear.
Catastrophic wildfires, increasingly common, are caused by a buildup of dense forest fuels that are the result of more than 100 years of fire suppression. Hotter, drier weather exacerbates the problem, along with severe drought, insects, and disease, resulting in larger, more severe wildfires that degrade wildlife habitat, reduce access to public lands, and pose serious risks to Montanans living in the wildland-urban interface. The Big Sky Forest Initiative will significantly reduce the threat of catastrophic wildfires while improving the overall ecological values of the landscape.
SITKA funds are being directed to the Stevensville Ranger District of the Bitterroot National Forest in western Montana to remove woody biomass from the forest, prepare the landscape for prescribed burn, and create desired forest conditions and optimal habitat for life. wild.
The removal of small diameter hazardous fuels is essential to safely reintroduce fire as a management tool in the landscape. The treatments will result in less dense forest, which can be managed by prescribed burning. Additionally, removal of these forest fuels will reduce competition between trees, increasing sunlight and water, improving vegetation structure and composition, and ultimately increasing wildlife habitat diversity.
Forest Service staff have identified priority project locations. The NWTF Montana district biologist will work with the Forest Service forester to design treatments that optimize wildlife habitat diversity.
Additionally, in September 2021, NWTF was awarded $20,000 from the SITKA Gear Ecosystem Grant Program to help support ongoing efforts to restore oak savannahs in western Michigan. These funds provided critical support for on-site restoration and protection efforts of more than 1,700 acres of oak savannah on Forest Service land. The funds were also used as a match to leverage additional federal dollars in excess of $2 million in project costs.
“We deeply appreciate SITKA’s generous support of our Big Sky Forest Initiative,” said Patt Dorsey, director of conservation operations for NWTF’s Western region. “SITKA is much more than a business that provides hunters and outdoor enthusiasts with great equipment. They understand that without healthy forests and wildlife habitats, those opportunities don’t exist. We look forward to working with the USFS and making a difference for Montanans.”

Huk’s Performance Fishing Team is committed to designing apparel for the die-hard angler, and no angler embodies that commitment better than Tyler Rivet. With a phenomenal four-day total of 86 pounds, 15 ounces, the fifth-year Elite Series pro from Raceland, Louisiana, won the first blue trophy of his career.
Last weekend, Rivet talked about “Doing what no one else was doing: Finding that little thing off the wall” to help him take the lead at the SiteOne Bassmaster Elite on Lake Okeechobee. Rivet, who entered the championship on Sunday in third place, fished differently from the others. For Rivet, it meant fishing upstream of the lake, having the whole river to himself. This tactic helped seal the deal with a final limit of 18 lbs. 3 oz. Championship Sunday.
Rivet dedicated his victory to his grandmother, who passed away in January. “She watched me from there every day,” Rivet said, shivering. “Every fish I caught this week that was over 4, I said, ‘Thank you, Mom.’”
“Tyler embodies our vision of a Huk angler. It is clear that he loves this sport, his family and the opportunity to represent our brand on the national stage,” said Chris Russell, vice president of marketing for Marolina Outdoor. “We are very excited about this win for him and his family and we look forward to the rest of the year.”
Rivet trusts Huk apparel to keep him cool and comfortable on the water year-round. From shirts, pants, outerwear, raincoats, and footwear, Huk has anglers covered no matter the season or activity.
Marolina Outdoor Inc. was founded to provide a deeply rooted product experience across all outdoor categories.

Greeley, Colorado – Expert turkey hunters understand that accurate aiming is imperative when using today’s advanced turkey loads. The tighter patterns and longer effective distances offered by the increasingly popular tungsten shot, for example, means careful aiming is a must – and for that, nothing beats a red dot.
Now mounting a red dot to your vented shotgun is a snap and lightning fast with Burris’ new SpeedBead™ Vented Rib Mount. Designed for use with Burris’ FastFire Series red dots or any red dot that uses a Docter mounting pattern, the SpeedBead™ Vent Rib Mount is a simple do-it-yourself installation that requires no drilling or tapping.
The mount’s unique design makes it self-centering, and the mount comes with a variety of rib adapters to accommodate multiple shotgun vent rib widths. Constructed of aluminum with a black anodized finish that will last and won’t damage your weapon, the SpeedBead™ Vent Rib Mount fully captures the vent rib on both sides for maximum holding power along the entire length of the mount. Simply install your red dot into the mount and clip the mount into your preferred location on the rib of your shotgun. It is easy.
Burris’s SpeedBead™ Vent Rib Mount is perfect for upgrading any shotgun that did not come from the factory with an optic compatible receiver. This is an ideal solution not only for shotguns that use high-density ammunition, but also for shotguns equipped with tight chokes, or for hunting styles that approach big toms.
