The 2.5-8's have a larger eyebox, easier to get on target quickly than the 2-7.
I have every generation of the 2-7x33's and 2.5-8's except for the current 3i. I like the 2-7, I wish I could like it more--it's less expensive and smaller and the glass itself is all a guy needs. Plus the LR dots are a more usable option than the ridiculous B&C flea turds cluttering up the crosshairs
My serious elk-getters have 2.5-8's, they are just easier and faster to use.
