I don't know about the 2-7x, but the 3-9x40 eye box is just fine for me. Some of these low price deals are tempting but I've already got a couple of 3-9x40 w/ Ballistic Plex that aren't mounted yet, so I'll pass. But they are great budget scopes and don't give up much to other scopes at several times the price. I'll admit that the eye relief is a little short for heavy recoiling rifles, but otherwise I see few flaws. If you want to dial or want extreme low light performance, there are obviously better choices, but for an all around relatively light set and forget scope they are hard to beat.
