Title: leupold bx4 vs zen ray ed3 8 by 42?
Post by: earlmarne on July 28, 2014, 12:29:22 AM: found great deals on both binos.
Ive only ever had the chance to look through bx 3 mojaves.I loved them when they were at the top of my budget.
I feel as though the bx4s would only be an improvement on them but have heard great things of the zen ray ed3s.
I am super green when it comes to binos, just know I need me a good pair this year.
Hoping for a little insight being that both of these would be ordered online without getting some hands on first

I think he used to give discounts to H-W members and if you didn't like them, you could mail back for a refund. Good communication from him last I checked.
