sjvcon Report post Posted January 21, 2014 Anyone have an opinion of these vs say a Vortex Viper HD? 10X. I was thinking of getting some new glass for my boys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
creed_az_88 Report post Posted January 22, 2014 Best glass for the money. Probably won't get many more responses just because they're so unpopular here in Coues country because they don't come any bigger than 10x but I feel like they're better glass than the vortex and that's an extremely unbiased opinion. Vortex has the best warranty out there but I'm pretty sure the ed3s now carry a no questions asked warranty also. Zen ray has only one thing scarring them and that's where they're made. But as far as glass goes, they're the best glass under $600 hands down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoteHunter Report post Posted January 22, 2014 I have used zen ray for about 7 years now. They are amazing. However the only vortex I have owned is a strike fire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Rabbit Report post Posted January 22, 2014 My experience with the ZR is dated and does not cover the current models. You might search through the opticstalk forum for opinions. I think the poster Klamath has a wide range of experience. It looks like the Cabelas Euro HD might be a consideration too. http://opticstalk.com/binoculars_forum9.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sjvcon Report post Posted January 23, 2014 Vortex is Japan I think. Wonder how much better the Prime's are than the ED3's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
