Title: ZenRay vs Vortex
Post by: fair-chase on July 30, 2011, 03:18:06 PM: ZenRay ED3 10x43 vs. Vortex Viper 10x42 (non HD)

Pretty simple. Has anyone had them side by side? Any recommendations?

It went down the road because the ZEN ED and ED 2 beat it pretty easily. The ZEN ED 3 is better than the ED 2. In my experience, the Viper lost in detail resolution at distance, which is why most would opt for 10x to begin with.
