I've had a pile of 2-7's. Never used them on anything other than the highest setting, including on close cover elk. Finally saw the light, ditched them, and went to the better 6x36.
I hear ya - except they weigh the same (6x36: 10 oz, 2-7: 9.9oz) and I like a bit more versatility with 2-7. My scopes spend alot of time on 3 power. The 2 elk I shot last year in the timber were both shot on 3 power - with a 270 moving a 150 at 3000+. Seems oxymoronic <G>
