I think that the Leupold 2-7x33 and 3-9x33 are physically more in sync/tune with the shorter/smaller rifles than are many longer/larger scopes. This is a question of esthetics that is related to the individual's taste. What looks good and works well for me will never look and work equally well for everybody. Kinda like the color mix in McM stocks. Some guys will only buy muted color mixes, while other guys think that grape and turquoise are OK colors for a rifle stock.
The Remington Sevens with 18.5" and 20" barrel look "better" to me when mounted with scopes that have smaller 32/33mm objectives, while the 22" Seven SAUMs look fine (to me) with a larger/longer scope installed. Many of my Sevens/600s/660s have 22", 24", or 26" barrels installed and most of them have larger/longer scopes installed; 3-9x40s, 3.5-10x40s, 4-12x40, 4-16x42s, 6-18x40, and 10x40s.
