Steve C
Well-known member
After I sent an inquiry to Zen Ray about their company, I got an e-mail from their president. He said that they had been pointed to Bird forum by several customers and other inquires. He then asked me if I was Steve C. So I owned up to it.
At any rate there are one each ZEN 8x43 and 10x43 on their way to me for review. They are supposed to be here by 1/15. Following that by the end of the month there will be one each 8x42 and 10x42 of their new Summit model. The ZEN looks like a Hawke clone and the Summit looks a lot like a Vortex Viper. So when I get them, reviews will be posted.
I did ask if they (the company) were Chinese, he said no, they were an Oregon based company who speced out binoculars form wherever. And yes I did ask him about the name and told him it sounded like an alien space weapon or an illegal tanning parlor. I said I didn't want to give offence, just curious about the name. He didn't take offense, obviously, but I still don't know about the root of the name.
