I've had the ED3's for 4 seasons now and don't have plans to change that (with one exception - if they start making 12's). Excellent clarity across 80% or so of the fov/great natural color/decent low light performance. The only downfall I have is slightly inferior construction and they are a bit big. That said, their warranty is great...I've had to use it once...my fault and no questions asked. Essentially these guys started out stripping competitors binos (especially Vortex) and reverse engineered using their own (and I would say better) materials. I've compared mine to every upper-end Vortex and won't make the change. My understanding of the Prime HD's was it was their first in house fully designed bino and except for the very first manufacturing runs which had problems, they are a slight improvement to the ED3's in edge to edge clarity and have a more refined finish. I haven't looked through them though so no direct comparison. I find tons of deer already with my humble ED3's. A great buy for sure.

They all fit the bill to me.

Got my euro mount Coues buck shot a couple weeks ago back already (I did the plaque though)...great job and fast service. Looks great on the wall! Thanks R & R!

$110 skinned, boiled, sealed. Adding a plaque would cost more - but I do them myself to match my theme.

That's me! Just out for a morning hike and predator control duties.

Tumacacori's - glass glass glass. If you can get high all the better. Shady spots.

This is why 12x50's are justifiably so...the new rage. Next up for me are the 12x50 Meopta's or Euro's unless Zen Ray finally wises up and makes something bigger than the 10x.

Awesome job

I had an hour to spare this morning so went out early to a spot I wanted to try just within the Tonto forest boundary... I called for 8 mins with Lightning Jack, threw in a Female howl, and switched back over to the Jack. She popped over a ridge about 300 yards away and headed straight to the call but disappeared in a wash. A minute or so later I saw movement to my left and she was scanning my hill and the area the call was at about 20 yards away from me right downwind from me. She quickly disappeared again and I threw on some Vole squeaks. That was too much for her and she walked right up the ridge I wanted her to within 20 yards of the call. One 50 yard shot with my .204 was all it took. Now I have to work. Bummer.

.204 or .22-250 gets it done for me.

Come on guys - these are super clean and basically new. Save yourself 4-5 bills and snatch these up!

Thanks for the Foxpro and good luck on your hunt Coues125! (and Mrs).

Bump for perfect glass - just looked through them last week. Basically new.

What a fantastic week down in southern AZ. We saw so many Deer we stopped counting in addition to some Antelope, a really nice Bear, Javelina, a Fox, a nice Bobcat, and even a Ringtail cat. Anyway, we saw some small bucks we didn't want to or could try and pursue early on and waited for a huge amount of the road/quad/rhino hunters to leave which most did on Sunday. That evening I got on a decent buck (80-90" range) for a first time hunter friend in some rugged terrain. After some serious angle compensation calculations and clearing a shooting path he launched a few shots but unfortunately couldn't connect. The next morning and last full day had us in the same general area where I glassed up a decent buck again in that 80+ range. I decided to make a move on it and started a 400 yard stalk to get into a better angle and range for a shot. 15 minutes later had me at 450 yards and about a -7 look angle. I felt good about the range and set up for a shot. 10 minutes later the buck stood up and I let a round go...missed...right over it's back. Another quick shot had me just over its back again and he and his lady friend were gone. I was so baffled as I had practiced and practiced up to 1000 yards to make those 400-500 yard range shots more easy. After thinking through the shot and reviewing my equipment and settings I decided to quickly head down to see if I could pick them back up. After about 10 minutes of glassing I realized that opportunity was gone. Well, I don't give up easy so started looking for my 2nd chance. Sure enough, one ridge over I spotted movement and saw a buck headed up a ridge. I quickly moved to get into position, ranged a target area at 400 yards, backed off my elevation a bit, and waited for the buck to step out from behind an Ocotillo. 30 seconds later he did and I squeezed off the shot...this time there was that unmistakable sound of a bullet hitting its mark and my hunt was over. Although not a big buck, I was still as happy as could be. The pack out was hot, steep, and a big challenge but with my friend and dads help, we got it done. In the end, I am most grateful for another great hunting experience with my old man...I know there won't be many more of those left and cherish them dearly.

Rifle is a Howa 270 WSM in a bedded Boyds stock with a Timney trigger. Load is a 140 gn Nosler accubond pushed by close to 58 gns of Magpro w Fed 215's. The chrono says close to 3100 fps with it. It's topped with a Vortex HS scope.

Thanks everyone. Love hunting these little critters!

Yep...shoot what you point at. Good luck!
