Anyone using the VX-2 2-7x33? Thoughts?

Any other lightweight options to consider?

Thanks.

Used the 2-7 quite a bit on this 30-06, not cds but had lrd which I liked.

I too dislike higher magnification on a handy rifle in cover. My cutoff is around 4x. Below, my eyes adapt well for seamless, both eyes open, sight picture. Above, the scope over powers my off eye, screws up field of view when swinging on quick close shot.

If a woods gun, light and tough, 2.5ul. Open gun, 6x36. Split the difference, 4x. Otherwise, something like the 2-7 covers a lot of bases.
