Redfield Revolution. Good scope. Good price. Made in the USA. I don't have one of the newer KX Kahles, but my AH 2-7x36 is no better than a VX-II Leupold.

Ain't no flies on the Redfield or the Burris FFII Good glass for the money.
I have no time behind the Vortex but a lot of guys sure like the Viper series.
If I could get a Nikon Monarch for $250 I'd snatch that up but that is more $$ Than the Redfield or Burris by a good bit.

i looked at viper this evening. to me the crosshairs are just way too thin. i also looked at burris and will probably go that route. was a ballistic plex but the crosshairs were much thicker than the vortex

I really like both Burris and Redfield Revolution in a 3-9X. The Burris has 1/2 MOA adjustments in their 2-7X and that would make me pause a bit. Maybe I'm overthinking things though. I do like the reticle on the Burris the best. If coarser adjustments are not an issue for you the Burris would be a good one. As would the Redfield.

They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

Do you have a price range in mind? I have a Nikon Pro Hunter and a Leupold VX 1; both 2-7. Would be willing to sell 1 of them. Tom; PM with questions.

Don't look through the Kahles unless you're ready to bust you budget again. Word. +1 How does that KX compare to my Helia CL?

Have two of these - one on a Ruger UL 30-06 and the other on a Ruger 375 African. Tough as nails. Just yesterday I shot a buck here in TN and had to drag it over a mountainside of rocks ranging in size from softball to car size. Inevitably I got my feet tangled and fell on my rifle (Ruger UL). Landed on my rifle on a rock. Metal against stone is not one of my favorite sounds. I'll be shooting it in the next couple days to see if rifle is still zeroed but the scope looks fine except a new beauty mark. This isn't the first beauty mark on a Leupold for me. Have yet to have an issue........ The only issue I have with the Leupie 2-7 is they can be a bit sensitive to eye relief. To me, they are not as forgiving as the 3-9x40.
Adversity doesn't build character, it reveals it.

Just bought another Redfield Revolution 2-7x33 and put it on a Ruger 44 Mag Carbine last week, great scope for the money.

Best for the money? What does that mean? I Have 2 Leupold Rifleman 2-7 scopes. Purchaced for the value and eye relief. One is on a 375HH no concerns with recoil affects after firing 400 rounds. The other is on a Ruger No.1 where the eye relief is required due to the scope mounting position. These are good solid hunting scopes, not toys.
