Title: Zen Ray binos
Post by: duckman nale on August 29, 2016, 11:27:33 PM: I'm looking at getting a set of the zen ray zrs summit binoculars in a 8x42 and was wondering if anyone else has had any experiences with these binos. It would be my first pair I'm been running vortex for the last 3 years and want to step up and get better binos. Thank you

Looking at the summit online it may be a more entry level glass for them, if it were me I would continue to save, and try to pick up a used set of EDs, or Primes. Zen Ray occasionally sells refurbished, or demo stuff of their site which would be another way to get a good deal.

Personally, with how important glassing is to me (I hunt a desert), I'd take a year off hunting to save up before going afield with subpar optics. Just me though.

I will reinstate this discount and offer to this community member again. Hopefully search engine will not pick this one up. lol The coupon code is Hunt-WA (not case sensitive).

We have some ED4 coming next week as well. You can save $150 on a pair using coupon code HEART-ED4.

Please feel free to contact me if there is anything I can be of your assistance.

The tripod adaptor is in stock now.

It works perfectly for your ED3 binoculars. As a matter of fact, it is compatible with all of our binoculars models.

Thanks
