I can see why they discontinued a 2-7. Honestly, I don't know many guys who use them, most use 3-9's or higher. That said, having had a few 2-7's myself I really don't like them either. The only time I could see them being useful is for super close range shots. I never have any desire for anything less than 3x, and 98% of the time I never use less than 4x, but there are a lot of cases on the bench where I can certainly benefit from more than 7x, or even more than 9x. I just really don't see the point to a 2-7, because while it can get the job done, it seems like there is something that can get it done better for just about every situation.
