Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Lets discuss 2-7x scopes?????

I started out with my first 2-7 with a Leupold vii with a CPC reticle back in 1982. The scope served me well hunting the dairy farms in upstate NY where I would be in the woods most of the day and may have an occasional shot across a pasture.

I found that my eyesight isn't what it was in 1982 around 2005 or so and replaced the aging optics of the Leupold with the much heralded Vortex Viper 2-7x32. While the optics were a huge improvement over the older Leupold, the field of view was horrendous. Total tunnel vision. I hated it.

I now have a Bushnell Elite 2-7 on that 7x57 rifle. Very nice scope.

I sold the Vortex.

The Leupold rests on an old Savage 32-20 near my backdoor for shooting deer too close to civilization.
